Friendly service is one of La Selva's trademarks. |
Their food is their pride. It
blends the finest ingredients Ecuador has to offer with French, North American and
Ecuadorian culinary skills. Expect to try most of these fruits: uvillas,
guayabas, guanabanas, naranjillas, morete, obos, taxo, granadilla and tomate de
arbol. They make
Amazonian pizza that will rival any; veal milanesa a la Amazon, and local fish, when
available, prepared with one of their numerous original recipes. Vegetarian and special
diets are available on request.

Sample itinerary:
Day 1
Quito-Coca flight. From the town of Coca you will travel downriver in a motorized
dugout canoe for two hours. An English-speaking naturalist will escort you. From the
La Selva dock a short picturesque walk leads you to a stream for a trip by paddle canoe to
Heron Lake (Garzacocha) and La Selva Lodge. A welcome cocktail awaits you. A buffet
lunch will be served or a buffet dinner if coming from Lago Agrio, afterwards, take
your pick of activities for the afternoon or evening: swimming, fishing, canoeing or
perhaps a walk to Mandicocha (which offers a completely different ecosystem from
Garzacocha). Return to the hotel for a briefing on next day activities.
Day 2
If you awaken early, you have a good chance to see a variety of wildlife
including monkeys or wild boar. Paddle down
a primeval stream, climb up to the high forest or visit our neighbors. With our
expert guides choose walking trips, paddling trips or trips that combine both.
Day 3
Any of the options which you did not choose for day 2.
Day 4
A trip to Piranha Lake might be in order. Start early in the morning for an all day
excursion up the Piranha river arriving at the lake by lunch time. Fish for
you-know-what. Swim with them if you like. Fare well dinner.
Day 5
Early morning departure for Quito.
