Hi,
I am looking into a trip to Ecuador and did some research on the Amazonian lodges. Enough info on Napo River/North Yasuni lodges (La Selva, Sacha, Napo Wc, Shiripuno, etc.) but what about the less well known areas in Ecuador.
As always I am equally interested in mammals and birds, so places that are good for both would be preferred.
Has anyone been to Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve for mammals (or birds)? And are there any lodges that stand out? Private guiding would be a must though, don't want to be put in a group with general interest visitors.
And what about southern end of Yasuni NP (Pastaza district), are there any intresting lodges there? Even further south there is Kapawi Lodge, looks rather plush but an interesting fairly remote location?
FInally, I have read very conflicting reports on Shiripuno Lodge. Any want to comment on that Lodge?
