Paradise Huts
Amazon Rain Forest Lodge
Description:
Idyllically set on the west bank of the Aguarico River in the north-eastern province of Sucumbíos, Paradise Huts offers tours of four or five days into the Ecuadorian Amazon Jungle. Although only 3 & 1/2 hours from Quito, the capital of Ecuador, the 110 hectares of private jungle belonging to Paradise Huts are only accessible by canoe. Directly across from our jungle paradise is the Cuyabeno Fauna Reserve, and to the north is found settlements of the Secoya Indian Tribe.
Paradise Huts accommodates up to 36 people in six individual guest lodges; every lodge has three double bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and shower.
Additionally a spacious balcony is incorporated into each lodge, with hammocks and comfortable seats. The main lodge is centered on the spacious dining area and includes the kitchen and bar. Oil lamps provide the lighting throughout the lodges. The gardens within our small clearing are full of exotic plants, such as orchids and gardenias, tropical fruits including pineapple, passion fruit and bananas, and trees and bushes of coffee and palms, to name but a few.
Our neighbors to the north are the Secoyas and Cofanes, indigenous tribes which have inhabited this area for centuries and which were first "discovered" by the Spanish conquistador Pizarro in 1541. Included in your tour to the Secoya community of San Pablo de Kantesiya you will visit the house of the local Shaman and see the daily activities of the inhabitants of this small village. Also try your hand at using a genuine blowgun and paddling an Indian canoe!.
