Hamadryade Lodge 4-star hotel

This lodge, owned and managed by France, offers an excellent opportunity to combine an Amazonian experience without sacrificing luxury and style. Located only 3-1 / 2 of Quito, capital of Ecuador, it is the perfect place for a couple to live an adventure in the heart of the jungle, while enjoying the pleasures of an exclusive private lodge, with spacious bungalows.

Although located in the Amazon forest, the ecosystem of this lodge is very different from those of the lower basin regions, since the climate remains pleasant all year round, with an average of 75 ° F.

The spacious showers of the bungalows have natural stones, as well as large windows with beautiful views. Italian linens and luxurious bathrooms contribute to the perfect balance between comfort and adventure. In this adventure you will find unique opportunities to discover the Amazon forest through many activities -from walks under the primary and secondary dosal- specialized tours (ornithology, etymology, and others) and visits to the Kichwa and Waorani communities, in addition to short walks to discover the lagoons and waterfalls of the jungle, night walks to observe wildlife, canoe trips, kayaking, rafting and tubing.

And for those who require deeper relaxation, there is a massage cabin in place.
