If you are looking for luxury, you've got the wrong place. If you are drawn to an authentic experience and an escape to a lost world, you've found it. Even though the high-humidity kills me, I rank it as a must-do. You won't get here by road, you take a motorized canoe to the beautiful thatched-roof lodge, hidden on the... More

My wife, 9-yr old son and I recently spent 3 nights at Liana Lodge (Mar 21, 22, 23) and we take from that memories that will last a lifetime. When we arrived by motorized canoe, we were met by René, our very friendly host from Switzerland. After helping us up to the main building with our luggage, he started giving... More

Our host, Rene, was very welcomming and friendly. He speaks english and german next to spanish, which is quite rare in Ecuador. He explained the history of the lodge and the projects they run to protect the rainforrest and the animals and to teach the local children in their school. All meals were included in our stay and they were... More

You arrive by boat to the lodge, which has a characteristic main open dining and lounge area. Bedrooms are in cabins. The main area is lit with some electricity and candles. The cabins are lit with candles. The cabins were basic but everything was very clean and there was plenty of space for your belongings. Given that the jungle is... More

It is a nice getaway from the busy city life. You have no electricity or internet and the only sounds are the sounds of the jungle. Food is excellent and most of the tours they offer are really interesting. Also, a stay there is for a good cause, helping the indigenous people and local wild life.

Other reviews cover off what the lodge offers/does, so I'll just say that our stay at this lodge was relaxing and a lot of fun. It's not deep in the amazon so it's a good introductory for those who don't want to stay in an expensive lodge but aren't prepared to rough it in the amazon yet.

Liana lodge is an excellent facility run by people who clearly care greatly for the environment it is set in. Being collected by a canoe and taken down river to the lodge is everything you expect of an amazon adventure. A stay typically includes all meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, which are prepared to a very high standard. Portions are... More
