While travelling round Amazonian jungles, many tourists prefer staying in bungalows on piles. But even the most captious travelers, even those who like modern design, will lose their heart to Hamadryade lodge.

This forest hotel, located on Napo River 300 km away from Kito, the capital of Ecuador, was created with a great respect to the nature and environment. Once a gold-mining area had been there. The owners of the hotel carefully fell in with the landscape.

Decorations were made of local materials and colors of tropical vegetation.

Ceiling are painted with symbols of four main tribes of the region – kichua, shuar, vaorani and kofan. The owners of Hamadryade organize excursions to the villages where the representatives of the tribes live.

During excursions you can get to know the everyday life and traditional beliefs of the tribes, also see the craftsman working and to know what plants are used in medicine and religious ceremonies.
