Additionally a spacious balcony is incorporated into each lodge with hammocks and comfortable seats. The main lodge is centered around the spacious dining area and includes the kitchen and bar.
Oil lamps provide the lighting throughout the lodges.
The gardens within our small clearing are full of exotic plants, such as orchids and gardenias, tropical fruits including pineapple, passion fruit and bananas, and trees and bushes of coffee and palms, to name but a few. Within only a few minutes walk from your lodge you will be entering primary forest this area is owned by Paradise Huts which practices a policy of minimum impact. As soon as you step into the jungle you ll be amazed by the richness of the fauna, the mysterious songs of the bird life and the unique and complex environment of the Amazon Jungle. Our neighbors to the north are the Secoyas and Cofanes who have inhabited this area for centuries and were first discovered by the Spanish conquistador Pizarro in 1541.
