Meet one of the La Selva representatives at the Quito International Airport, in the National departure area. Here, they will assist you with the check-in process and give you a short briefing on the journey to La Selva Lodge. To begin your journey, board a commercial flight to Puerto Francisco de Orellana, where a representative will privately transfer you to the city’s main dock at the Napo River. Then, travel by motorized canoe down the river until you arrive at La Selva’s main dock. Then, for your final leg of the trip, transfer to La Selva Lodge by paddle canoe. Upon arrival, the manager will greet you with a refreshing juice, snacks and a short briefing on general information about your stay.
In the afternoon, after you’ve had a chance to settle in, listen to an introduction of the rainforest by one of the naturalist guides. Then, head to the Matapalo Trail. On this trail, you can see remarkable trees, some of which are over 400 years old. Also, keep an eye out for exotic flora and fauna. In the evening, you can find snacks and specially crafted cocktails at the bar. Or, feel free to help yourself to limitless tea and coffee.
After enjoying some snacks, dinner will be served. Enjoy the delicious meal with your new lodge mates.
