Run by the warmly welcoming Chilean-Colombian couple Francisco and Silvia, Anaconda Lodge is their jungle lodge dream come true. Screened wooden cabins on stilts are set within neat garden environs, with an open-air restaurant serving as social hub. Visiting their neighboring Kichwa community, wildlife-watching in the jungle, rafting and tubing are all on the agenda on this tranquil Napo island.
Healthy, delicious meals – which can accommodate dietary restrictions – night walks and excursions round out the experience. Dog lovers are especially welcome, as three giant German shepherds are a roving part of the family here.
