AMAZON DOLPHIN LODGE
"Experience Unforgettable Eco-Tourism at a Lodge in Yasuni National Park"
Amazon Dolphin Lodge – Comfort in Harmony with the Rainforest
Nestled deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, Amazon Dolphin Lodge offers 11 comfortable and spacious huts that blend harmoniously with the surrounding ecosystem. Here, guests enjoy restful nights lulled by the symphony of the forest and awaken to the melodic songs of tropical birds—a truly immersive Amazon rainforest experience.
Pañacocha Reserve – Biodiversity in the Heart of the Amazon
The Pañacocha Protected Forest is a tropical humid ecosystem, home to towering trees that reach 30 meters in height and a rich variety of plant families, including Sapotaceae, Fabaceae, Moraceae, and Lauraceae. Beneath the canopy, wildlife flourishes—howler monkeys, peccaries, tapirs, capuchins, and the iconic Amazon pink dolphin are among the many species that thrive here.
At its heart lies the Pañacocha Lagoon, located within the territory of the Kichwa San José de Guayusa community. This pristine blackwater lagoon remains in an excellent state of conservation, its panoramic waters surrounded by untouched vegetation and teeming with both aquatic and terrestrial fauna. Likely formed by ancient meanders of the Amazon Basin, the lagoon represents one of the region’s best-preserved natural landscapes, offering visitors an authentic window into the unspoiled Amazon wilderness.
Amazon Wellness Retreat – Reconnect, Relax & Renew
Feel the Joy, Peace, and Harmony of Mother Nature
The Pañacocha Reserve, a Tropical Humid Forest, is a paradise where wildlife thrives in every corner. Visitors may encounter up to five species of monkeys—howler, capuchin, lion, barizo, and spider—along with playful otters, caimans, marmots, and the legendary pink freshwater dolphin of the Amazon.
Every step reveals the magic of the Ecuadorian Amazon: lush green landscapes, the symphony of tropical birds, and golden sunsets that transform the forest into a living painting. As night falls, the star-filled sky and the sounds of nocturnal wildlife create an enchanting atmosphere that feels like stepping into another world.
Here, only the present exists—pure, vibrant, and unforgettable.
