LODGING:The cabanas come of native design: rustic, authentic, and comfortable and with unexpected amenities, hot water and sanitary beyond your wildest expectations. The cabanas could be described as private bungalows that are dry, cozy and immaculately clean; al thought made entirely of secondary rainforest materials and designed to blend with the surroundings.
Each one has a private bathroom, a hammock and mosquito netting in each bed.
There are 17 thatched cabanas, each with a pointed roofs, the gathering spots are the spacious dinning room also with a coned-shape roof and an open-air combined bar and lounge area with a wrap-around view of the lake

FOOD SERVICES: The food is our pride. It blends the finest ingredients Ecuador has to offer with French, North American and Ecuadorian cooking skills. Fresh tropical fruits juices accompany each meal, expect to try most of these fruits: uvillas, guayabas, guanabanas, naranjillas, morete, obos, taxo, granadilla and tomate de árbol. We make Amazonian pizza that will rival any; veal milanesa a l'Amazon; and local fish, when available, prepared with one of our numerous original recipes.

On top of everything we baked our own bread and make our own freshly made pasta. Yummy!!!

FOR SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHY
A long lens, at least a zoom capable of 200 mm is recommended and an assortment of film as low as ASA 25 for out on the streams in full sun and around the lodge, to ASA 400 -pushing it if you like, for in the forest. Be sure to carry your film separately.
Digital cameras need only beware (as SLR users) that moisture can fog their lenses rapidly. Silica gel in the camera carrying case should do the job and remember to put your camera back in the case when not using it. Bring plastic zip-lock bags for protecting your gears
HOW TO GET THERE?
To get a feeling for where you are headed, imagine a tranquil country: Ecuador, and to the east deep in a rainforest of unparalleled biodiversity, in the sensuous Amazon Basin, a lodge, a paradise, located in Garzacocha Lake, the Heron Lake.
La Selva which in Spanish means “the jungle” is necessarily remote but one of the more easily reached destinations in the Amazon and ideal for avid travelers (traveling alone rather than as part of an organized tour)

La Selva |
 |
|
|
La Selva, is about sixty miles down river from the town of Coca (the commercial and main base for the fledgling oil industry) When you get to La Selva’s isolated dock, a half mile boardwalk of bamboo slats keeps you above of a vast palm swamp as you make your way to the lake.
The boardwalk ends at Garzacocha Lake where paddles canoes await you to take you acrossed, when you are quarter a mile you start to browse the lodge itself. It is like an expedition to discover, since you feel like Christopher Columbus when he saw land at first.
