Situated on a 2500-acre nature reserve, Yachana Lodge is the newer iteration of a long-running lodge along the Río Napo. A training center educates local residents for sustainable career opportunities; revenues from the lodge help support the training center. It's a win-win, as guests are exposed to the wonders of jungle and river, as well as introduced to indigenous culture.
