Río Quijos Eco Lodge

The Oriente


Birders, rafters and fans of bucolic Andean retreats will love this ecolodge. About 12km north of Baeza, this riverside spot has trails through the trees and more than 90 acres of reserve land across the river. It's well placed for excursions to San Rafael Falls, river put-ins and caving adventures, and the helpful staff can organize all manner of tours.
