Super experience ! L’endroit est magnifique et bien entretenu. En pleine pampa! Les repas sont délicieux, les chambres spacieuses. On a été très bien accueillis. Il y a beaucoup d’activités à faire comme la descente de la rivière (on peut apercevoir des singes sur la rive!), la visite d’un centre de secours d’animaux, la découverte de cascades, des balades en pleine jungle… On repart avec des souvenirs pleins la tête!

Siamo una famiglia e abbiamo soggiornato qui 3 notti per visitare l’Amazzonia. Augustin, il titolare, ci ha preparato un programma interessante per conoscere luoghi e culture della zona. Semplici e molto confortevoli le camere (pochissimi insetti), buona la colazione, i pranzi e le cene, ottima collocazione per visitare la foresta. Il personale e la guida sono molto gentili e disponibili.

I spent 4 weeks at the Gaia Lodge. For the first two I was learning Spanish in the morning with tours and activities in the afternoon e.g. canoe trip, jungle walk, visiting a local Kichwa family and an animal rescue centre, and making chocolate. For the second fortnight I was volunteering at a local school, teaching English – challenging for someone with no teaching experience – but ultimately rewarding. The owner, Agustin is a lovely man, generous and helpful, with a real commitment to the local community. The staff and teachers at Gaia are very friendly. I was made to feel part of a family and made many new friends. The Lodge itself is set in beautiful surroundings. The rooms are comfortable and the food is good (though the menu grew a bit repetitive after 4 weeks). Overall my stay at Gaia was a memorable and unforgettable experience. There is nothing quite like lying in a hammock, watching the tamarin monkeys play in the trees while the sun comes up!
