Detailed program
Expeditions LA SELVA LODGE
Please find below a partial list of activities. Trained Naturalist guides and Native assistants will accompany you during all your adventure.
El Salado
This 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.
You can choose to trek, hike, fish, swim, paddle canoes, birdwatch, butterfly watch, photography or simply relax.
Walk by a Native's House
Cross Garzacocha Lake. 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 primary forest and the other half passes the huts of our indigenous neighbors along tbe Napo River.
Mandicocha Trail
An easy trail close to the hotel which is usually filled with wildlife no matter what hour of the day you do it. The excursion can last as long as you want.
High Forest Trail
The duration can vary between three to five hours. Cross the Napo River and arrive at a challenging mountainous trail which offers yet another ecosystem. It is a chance to see birds and wildlife nowhere else seen. Try the lemon ants!
Pilche Trail
Cross Garzacocha Lake then one hour or more of walking. See an enormous colony of leafcutter ants and whatever wildlife may come your way.
Night Excursions
Canoe or walking trips after dark to view nocturnal animals such as caiman, monkeys, insects and owls. Sample the LA SELVA night life.
Pedro's Trail
Two versions available. Cross Garzacocha lake, walk through the virgin forest and arrive at the tower: four hours. Short version: Pass Butterfly farm and join the trail in the middle: two hours.
Chawamango's Trail
Head east at Mandicocha trailhead and walk along the lake. Arrive at Napo River. Return by elevated walkway and cross Garzacocha by canoe: three hours.
Little Chawamango
Short trip by foot around the edge of Lake Garzacocha. Return by canoe to the lodge.
Ruth's Trail
Across the Mandicocha lake, it goes on and on and on. Good place to look for Jaguars.
