Yachana lodge continued

This is certainly one of the best places to be safely immersed in the fascinating and mysterious ways of ‘El Oriente’. The emphasis at Yachana Lodge is on education and the opportunities for wildlife viewing are relatively limited. The lodge program aims to raise awareness about the rainforest and the people who live there. It is a great experience, offering activities whilst providing the chance to relax and enjoy the rainforest. Activities include rainforest hikes through primary and secondary rainforest accompanied by bilingual and native naturalist guides, night walks and sunset cruises on the Napo River, plus the chance to visit community development projects, practise using blowguns, spears and fishing nets and participate in a cleansing ceremony with a traditional healer.
July and August are usually the wettest months to visit and September to December the (relative) driest.
“Arriving at Yachana (which means "place of learning") it is clear that this is not so much a lodge as an entire village. Guests are not cut off from the community, but involved in the indigenous lifestyle.”
