Myself and my partner visited the Anaconda Lodge at the beginning of September. Our hosts, Francisco and Silvia, were wonderful and extremely welcoming. They could not do enough for us. It was truly an amazing experience and something neither of us will ever forget. We had an exceptional guide who took us on jungle hikes and taught us all about the local plants and animals. One of the highlights was definitely seeing a boa constrictor in the jungle! On our second day we went tubing down the river and I have never experienced anything so amazing as drifting along the river watching the birds and the monkeys in the trees.
The lodge itself is beautiful and set upon its own island. It was so peaceful and we spent hours listening to the birds and the insects. The meals were fantastic, all local delicacies and always three courses! We still cannot decide what we liked best. Also they are very accommodating for individual dietary requirements- as a vegetarian I was well looked after.
The hardest part of our holiday to Ecuador was leaving the lodge! If only we could stay forever! Hint: 2 nights is not enough!
