Location:
Tapir Lodge is located in the eastern province of Sucumbíos, in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest in the Cuyabeno Reserve. The Lodge has been built with the help of the Siona Secoya community, in order to foster the sustainable eco-tourism in that area. Tapir Lodge has successfully integrated the Siona community of Puerto Bolívar in the activities in this region, so that they can also benefit of the income this sustainable work produces.

Facilities:
1 Tower and 2 bungalows (capacity 32 persons) with private bathrooms and hot water. Restaurant, bar and hammocks. Electricity is provided (110V). The Lodge has a 15 meter height tower that offers some spectacular jungle views and is ideal for birdwatching.

General info:
This magical area of 600.000 ha (1.500.000 acres) is considered to be one of the places with the highest levels of biodiversity in the world and a biological hotspot. It is part of a Pleistocene Refuge, one of several areas of Amazon rainforest that survived the last Ice Age. These places served to populate the forest with species of plants and animals, evolved in isolation, and were new and unique to this area. Within the reserve’s boundaries, wonderful black water lakes, flooded forests and primary terra firme forests are home of an impressive variety of flora and fauna. The designed itineraries offer a variety of educational, entertaining and specific activities, each group of max. 8-10 passengers, will be accompanied by a naturalist multilingual guide. The huge diversity and protected state of Cuyabeno make it one of the best sites to visit Amazon rain forest and to spot wildlife.
