La Selva Lodge
sits high on a
lake called Garzacocha, a few kilometers north of the Napo
river. It is 90 km east of Coca and it
takes around 3 hours to reach the trail leading to the lodge by
motorized boat and then after a short hike it is a half hour paddle in a
small dugout canoe to the tourist complex.
This lodge consists of 16 rustic double cabins with screened
windows and private bathrooms with running water. There is no
electricity provided and kerosene lanterns are used for
lighting.
The main building offers you a dining room, where international
and local food is served.
This lodge was one of the first one to operate in that area and from the
beginning ecologically sound tourism was introduced. The complex also
includes a small biological field research station, mostly used by
visiting foreign scientists and a butterfly breeding facility.
Tour
programs:
The tours start in Coca and end there
again. Transport in motorized boats from Coca to the lodge and back (3
hours one-way), accommodations and meals at the lodge, native guides and
interpreters are included in the package.
