Bird Watching
With perhaps the highest species list in the neo-tropics, La Selva® Jungle Lodge uses native birding experts for those guests with this singular passion.
The Natives speak minimal English, but know the names of all the birds, and, more importantly, how to find them.
Please specify in advance if you are a birder and would like to take advantage of this service that La Selva® Jungle Lodge offers.
Expeditions:
Below is a partial list of activities that La Selva Jungle Lodge offers. Trained Naturalist guides and Native assistants will accompany you during all your adventure.
El Salado
El Salado Excursion is a two-hour excursion often combined with a picnic lunch and trips across the Napo River. Visit a site where, with a little luck, parrots and parakeets, by the thousands can be seen.
Walk by a Native's House
Cross Garzacocha Lake.
La Selva Jungle Lodge takes you to a two and a half to three hour walk on a purposely underdeveloped trail which has some physical challenge.
Half of the walk takes place in Ecuador's primary rainforest and the other half passes the huts of La Selva Jungle Lodge Indigenous neighbours along the Napo River.
