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 Napo shores by the soaring trees of Amazonia. The main building has a large dining room where you eat all meals ... including lantern-lit dinners. The tables are stunning slices of trees and the meals are ample and tasty. The lounge holds beautiful ceremonial wood-carved furniture and an open fire box of indigenous design which provides light but also keeps the bugs away (ask them their secret!). There is also a bar in it's own section which has seating…

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 us the introductory information session when all of a sudden several monkeys decided to form their own welcoming committee. We had a great time watching them, especially one bold fellow who made himself comfortable at the lodge's bar. They made several more appearances at the lodge over the next few days during our stay and were always a source of entertainment. Our cabin was spacious and comfortable, but don't expect a sterile environment carved out of the rainforest…

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 very nice and abundant. The excursions were also included and we could choose whatever we wanted to do with our private guide. We explored the jungle, saw a wildlife rehabilitation centre, visited a family who made chicha, tested a blowgun and did some tubing all in one day. The cabins are very nice as well and give you the real jungle experience, combined with enough luxury like warm water. We would certenly recommend this place!

My boyfriend and I spent a month traveling through the different regions of Ecuador, three nights of which was spent at the Liana Lodge in the Ecuadorian Oriente. We can not say enough about the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable as well as provided a top notch dining experience. The food was excellent, with set meals including a fantastic soup, salad, main course with a meat and multiple sides and a dessert. Awesome blend of a classic European dishes prepared with Ecuadorian sides. Our guide was intelligent, interested and very easy to identify with. The cabins were perfectly simple. The project the Lodge is associated with, Viva Selva, is inspiring with its dedication to the salvation of the rainforests flora…

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 very humid, the bed linen did not smell damp. There is lots of hot water. Set meals consisting of soup, main and a desert were not bad. Best to take a bag that you can carry on your shoulder or back as it's difficult to wheel a case to the river canoe and up to your cabin. Also take a lighter as the matches that were provided were much too damp to ignite. Also be aware that cabins are split into two rooms and each is open to the roof so your…

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.

On my last visit in July 2012 I saw a family with a small kid of 8 years old. They spent 3 days and enjoyed two animations every day: balsa rafting, tubing, visit of an indigenous family, Rain Forest hiking, visit of amaZoonico the rescue centre for animals, gold washing, etc. They were enthousiastic, ... and the kid too, worn out and happy. they asked me to pout this message for you.

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 good and there is wine and beer available from the bar. We stayed in a private cabin, open but fully protected with mosquito netting with en suite bathroom, complete with hot water. There are a selection of tours, led by local guides with an excellent knowledge of local flora and fauna through primary rainforest, something lacking from other nearby lodges. And after a hike through the humidity, the opportunity to float back down river in…
