Review of Liana Lodge
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 26, 2018
We stayed three nights at Liana Lodge at joined several of their tours. We always got the same guide assigned and Christian did a great job sharing his homeland with us. We visited the jungle, the local community and could try out several activities. Beside the tours we were embedded in the caring and helpful environment of the lodge with delicious food, supportive staff and a beautiful setting on the riverside.

Did not stay at liana lodge but at the nearby runa huasi which is less a lodge than some neat cabanas and communal area/hut where the meals are provided. Run by a friendly local family it provides the same activities as liana lodge at half the price. Plus more authentic athmosphere with tarantulas in the dining hall and giant grasshoppers on the river facing balcony. For reservations call jorge 0969277710 or 063062312. excellent value for money, highly recommended!

Liana Lodge offers a fantastic holiday experience

Arriving by canoe to the sound of birds calling gives a flying start

Good food

Comfortable beds in private cabins with a terrace, hammock and bathroom with warm showers - no electricity in rooms but WiFi and electric light in the large reception area
Helpful small touches like dry matches to light candles and a stock of wellies for tramping around the reserve

Staff are very capable and welcoming

The profits go to help run the sanctuary for indigenous animals which are offered shelter ( after poachers or as discarded pets etc)
The animals are kept in good conditions and if they can be rehabilitated they are released in the reserve
Worth visiting

Lying on the hammock listening to the warm bubbling cries of oropendola and other birds overhead is a treat

And listening to guides such as Juan recounting what leaves / plants can be used for - and identifying birds and frogs and insects is both humbling and awesome to a western educated mind

Highly recommended

My wife and I stayed at Liana Lodge this summer and we still think about our experience every day! I can honestly say it's the most unique place, I've ever stayed. The staff are very relaxed and welcoming but everything is extremely efficient and professional. The lodge is excellent value. The cabins are clean, private and provided with candles for the evenings. We enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and listening to the jungle noises all around. On our first day, a troup of monkeys swung past our cabin. The trips are easy to organise when you arrive and we had our own guide over the 2 days who was a local Kichwa. We hiked through the jungle and felt privileged to learn how they use everything around them. We were genuinely sad and touched when we left on the canoe. I can think of no other place where my wife and I have felt that way. Amazing!

We stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed everything. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the food is great, and the tours offered were very well organized. If you are looking for a nice jungle experience, definitely book Liana lodge!

Liana Lodge is a beautifully build lodge nestled next to the river down stream about 75 minutes from Tena in the Ecuadorian rain forest. Leo the man in charge was very friendly and took good care of us. Our guide was Sooyou, he was great and worked very hard. All the other staff was friendly and made our stay comfortable.. The atmosphere was unmatched. The food was average and a bit on the salty side but eatable. Please be aware if you order a meal not included in your 2 or 3 day stay they will get you. We had lunch when we arrived a bit early to check in and they charged us $28 for two of us. I felt ripped off! I think I could have ordered lunch from Tena, had it delivered, (75 minutes) tipped the delivery man and got change back. I think $28 for 2 average lunches was a bit much. It did not spoil or experience but I would not go back. Bernie from California
