Honeymoon Thrill
What could be more appropriate than being thrilled in the Amazon Jungle on your honeymoon? Take note.
In the beginning this Amazonian Ambush will come into your consciousness like an object barely glimpsed out of the corner of your eye.
But before you know it your honeymoon adventure at La Selva®, the collective sensuousness of the place: the sights, the sounds, the textures, the smells, the spectacular foods and drinks - all of it will come together and you will be ambushed! First you and your new mate will probably begin to giggle with marvel and wonder like you can only remember doing as small children and then something more profound should take hold, the notion that you are in a perfect creation, unique, a rainforest and that together your love must deepen because you are in harmony with what will, is and will always be one of the most intense experiences of your lives.
The Amazon Jungle.
Indulge in this overwhelming natural luxury you honeymooners, for here is a forest now cherished by you forever with memories strong, stories to tell over and over again, and most importantly, perhaps, our rainforest (now your rainforest) will help give you confidence - simply by it its very existence and your pivotal time there to be in it and of it - to pursue love and understanding possibly for the rest of your lives.
So what do we have in store for honeymooning lovers...?
Itinerary:
Days 1 - 5
(At La Selva® you will partake of many of the three - daily excursions offered to the regular special guests as well as the extra-special activities outlined below just for honeymooners).
The next morning, after a beautiful buffet breakfast at your hotel we will pick you up and take you to the airport again, this time to the national terminal.
Where you will be met by a La Selva® Representative for your flight to the Amazon.
A 25-minute flight follows after which you will again be met by a La Selva® representative for your trip down the Napo River 2 1/2 hours by one of our motor launches to the lodge.
The lodge bungalows are set up with mostly twin beds except the honeymoon suite, which has a queen bed, filled with some special complimentary surprises just for you.
Elsewhere on the website you will find mention of the many excursions we offer each day which you absolutely won't want to miss but here are some of the special events for Honeymooners:
1) You will have behind the scenes access to the butterfly farm like very few guests have ever had and if you are just a little patient our Farm Director can show you metamorphosis:
something like the complete change that you may feel like you are going through personally just like that butterfly.
Please feel free to take a couple of butterflies from the flight unit and release them into the forest.
2) Another special excursion is the Amazon Gondolier where one of our indigenous staff takes you out before dusk in a dugout canoe or kayak and paddles the two of you slowly around the borders of our beautiful tranquil lake Garzacocha.
If you want he'll point out the animals and birds or if you find the solitude more romantic you'll barely hear the sound of his paddle in the water.
The beverage of your choice goes along with you, courtesy of La
Selva®.
3) One night you'll have a candlelit dockside dinner over the lake with a private waiter and a table just for two.
We'll light up the entire dock with a trail of candles that leads to your table.
Complimentary cocktails and wine.
4) Another morning you'll have breakfast 135 feet high above the forest in our canopy tower at dawn.
The tower is one of the most coveted spots at the lodge because of the wildlife sightings and perspective from there.
So bring your camera and we'll bring the food and impeccable service for two.
5) On your last night we have a honeymoon tradition. The happy couple, now so full of the forest launches a small balsa wood boat with two candles in it.
The candles carry each partner's wishes for their new marriage and the boat is the vessel for their hopes and dreams.
Drinks are on the house as the couple watch their hopes sail toward a successful future.
Day 6
With regret, experience has shown, the honeymoon couple bid goodbye to La Selva® and Return to Quito where they will be escorted to their hotel.
