The Lodge provides multiple activities in programs
that are characterized by their flexibility: we
allow you to design day by day, with the rest of
your group and your guide, the most suitable program
for your interests and desired activity level. Most
itineraries include visits to the Achuar communities,
hikes in the rain forest, canoeing, bird watching,
and other activities. According to your interests
and physical condition (but not your age!), we offer
three alternative programs: easy, moderate, and
difficult. These programs depend mainly on the distance
and time you would like to spend on our trails;
all other activities can be included in any program..
Easy
path: Short hikes in the rainforest (up
to 2h30 hours) on well-defined trails, visits
to the Achuar communities, trips in canoes and
excursions on raft and kayaks.
Moderate path:
Medium distance hikes in the rain forest (up to 4
hours) and sometimes crossing flooded areas.
Difficult path:
Demanding hikes of over 4 hours and in
some cases all day or more, in poorly defined,
hilly, and often flooded trails. Porters will
carry food and supplies for longer expeditions.
Excellent physical condition is required!
