The ecolodge
Ten rooms on the banks of the Tuichi
Traditional cabins three hours upriver from Rurrenabaque, built with materials from the surrounding forest and designed for no more than 18 guests at a time.
Where you stay
Built the way houses are built here
The cabins follow the building style of the Amazon cultures of the region: wood, stone and palm-leaf roofs, all sourced from the surrounding area. Around them, more than 40 km of trails lead into primary forest that is protected from logging.
At dusk and dawn the forest is loud: howler monkeys, macaws and frogs. Between walks, the hammocks on each terrace are the best place to listen.
Rooms
Choose your bathroom, not your view
All rooms look into the forest. The only choice is the bathroom: four rooms have their own, six share four bathrooms between them.
Private room, private bathroom
Four rooms with their own bathroom. Twin, double or triple beds, towels, bathroom essentials and a mosquito net over every bed.
Private room, shared bathroom
Six rooms that share four separate bathrooms. Same beds, towels and mosquito nets; the price difference is USD 15 to 60 per person depending on the program.
Families and groups
Twin, double, triple and family rooms are available. Children under 12 stay in their parents’ room.
Food
Regional cooking from local ingredients
Our cooks have more than ten years of experience in the lodge kitchen. Meals are regional dishes made with local produce, served with fresh juice from seasonal fruit, in a dining room open to the forest.
- Vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly menus: tell us when you book
- Try dunucuabi, catfish cooked wrapped in leaves
- Ask the kitchen for recipes: the cooks are happy to share them

Getting there
Three hours by boat, part of the trip
For the Beni and Tuichi rivers we use motorboats with a roof, comfortable seats, life jackets and rain ponchos, for up to six passengers. The ride up passes through the Bala Canyon and is often the first place you see wildlife. The way back takes about two hours.
Good to know
