Hamadryade Lodge
- Hits: 7875
The simple idea of the Hamadryade Lodge is to offer splendor and exclusivity in the heart of the Amazon jungle. The Lodge was built respecting the balance between nature, comfort and well-being of the clients. It is also a luxury hotel built with selected materials that favor respect for nature and conservation. Just 5 km from Puerto Misahualli, this idyllic Lodge was built within 65 hectares of primary and secondary jungle, to offer an unforgettable experience. You will find a space to reawaken your senses, and to reconnect with nature.
Feast your eyes on the view from the main Lodge, discovering the green ocean that is the Amazon and the view of the Napo River. Relax in our lounge, enjoy the sounds of the jungle, have a drink and savor our chef's menus. It is also a perfect place to meet and interact with our guests, who are also passionate about nature. You will be immersed in the environment while our attentive team anticipates, attends to your needs and helps you organize your stay.
ECO-LODGE:
The Hamadryade Lodge is committed to a sustainable approach to tourism based on the proper use of the natural landscape, the support of its local economy and historical culture, offering the traveler a unique and localized experience. Cabins, trails, and infrastructure make use of existing topographic contours and open space to blend into the natural landscape and minimize direct impacts to vegetation and natural movement of water and wildlife.
The cabins and infrastructure are entirely made with wood from renewable forest plantations in the region to avoid cutting down primary forests. Its design and architectural structure have a unique, innovative and contemporary design.
The water comes from the natural streams and springs that flow from the forest concession that surrounds the Lodge. A water treatment plant (Biodigester and garden biofilter) filters the water (grey and black water are separated) used by the lodge before discharging it back to the land.
We are currently committed to restoring rainforest ecosystems, by planting native trees and other natural vegetation that is important to local wildlife and to our carbon neutral commitment.

ETHNO LODGE:
Ecotourists are travelers who have moved beyond the traditional limits of most national and international hotel chains. They tend to be responsible travelers looking for authentic local experiences where they can interact with indigenous people within their cultural norms.
Therefore, we expect tourists who are respectful of the environment, who want an immersion in the tropical forest, and who respect local customs, the peace of the jungle.
Being at the Hamadryade Lodge is taking advantage of a unique moment of well-being, ideal for disconnecting from the cities and reconnecting with oneself.

ITINERARIES:
AMAZOONICO
Amazonian animal reserve
Walk to Misahualli beach to get on one of the canoes and start your journey on one of the largest rivers in the Amazon, to the Amazon. The trip lasts about 45 minutes on the Napo River, with incredible views, until you reach the animal rescue center.
You will discover another river, the Arajuno, in the Selva Viva reserve. The Amazoonico was built to recover and care for animals rescued from black trafficking or from serious injuries due to domestic issues. You will be able to see monkeys in freedom, tigrillos, boas, tapirs, and several other animals in a rehabilitated state. Unfortunately you will not be able to see the free animals since they are free again in the reserve, and far from humans.
Take advantage of the trip to go to know the lagoon of the alligators, before your return to Misahualli. This activity can be combined with a visit to a community along the river, for example
