Craving a jungle holiday and an easy-to-plan vacation?

Ecuador's La Selva Lodge is surrounded by the Amazonian jungle, exhaling a symphony of sound like no other.
You have the flexibility to choose your own experience:
  • ​A morning paddle to spot a curled boa constrictor or perhaps a lazy spa day is more your style.
  • A nighttime walk amid the nocturnal critters or a midday climb up the 35-meter lookout tower - why not both!
How to get there: International flights land at Quito's newly renovated airport, Mariscal Sucre. Try to nab a window seat, as the views during landing are spectacular.
From Quito, La Selva takes care of the remainder of your journey:
  • hotel pickup to the airport
  • short flight from Quito to the petroleum-based town of Coca
  • a 2.5-hour ride in a motorized boat down the Napo River 
  • and finally, a 30-minute canoe ride along a narrow tributary to your new jungle home, inside the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve!

Where you stay: The day rate covers most activities and all meals. Activities include canoe rides, hiking trips (day or night) and outings to the parrot licking clay, lookout tower and local villages. Spa treatments cost extra. 
The meals are superb. 
The private accommodation "huts" are sublime.
Need I say more? This is a splurge well worth-it, if you are in search of some adventure and pampering.
