This is the first lodge you see on the nascent Río Napo, 17km from Tena along the southern shore. It's a quiet collection of 22 thatched-roofed bungalows, connected by winding river-rock pathways in a lush setting. Oil lanterns create a romantic glow, and cabins have hot water and private river-facing decks (though no electricity).
English-speaking guides lead walks and trips to waterfalls; tubing, rafting and visits to local communities can be arranged. It’s a good way to get into the rainforest without having to take a long river trip.
