Huasquila Amazon Lodge - Hotel Tena - Ecuador

This family-run eco-resort offers nine luxury cabins, built with local materials in Kichwa Style, within the Sumaco Biosphere Reserve. Each cabin has a private bathroom, hot water, amazingly comfortable beds, and wide interior spaces and porches from where you can enjoy the fascinating views of the Amazon. Huasquila is also perhaps the only Amazon eco-lodge in Ecuador to cater to visitors with disabilities, and can accommodate groups of up to 30.

Huasquila offers personalized tours and activities including caving, jungle walks to identify medicinal plants, and visits to petroglyphs, an animal rescue center, Kichwa communities, and much more. This lodge offers first-class attention in a family atmosphere, including bar service with exotic cocktails, as well as a show featuring traditional dances. You will be served three- and four-course meals everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner with delicious national and international dishes. This lodge is ideal for small groups with individual interests looking for a relaxing way to experience the beauty of the jungle.
