The Altos del Pastaza rainforest Eco-lodge is scattered on a 65 hectares’ reserve of virgin rainforest that has remained intact through centuries, thanks to our constant protection. Our tours are conducted by native guides with jungle experience and good knowledge of basic first aid practices.

You will also have the opportunity to observe the flora and fauna of this incredible ecosystem and we can tailor the excursions according to your needs.

At the beginning of the excursion our Guide will explain about the excursions and the places that you will be visiting.
Please do not forget that the rainforest is a balanced ecological system that requires protection so always ensure not to destroy it.
