Lodge activities
Explore incredible primary forest in Misicocha or Cosano, La Casa del Suizo’s private reserve, reached by a short canoe ride. Here, there are a number of walks (with varying levels of difficulty) that can last anywhere from an hour-and-a- half all the way up to four hours.
Build your own raft, known as a balsa, using the same technique indigenous communities have for centuries. Once you’ve lashed together your ‘vessel’ of balsa wood logs and lengths of rope, it’s time to take it to the water, paddling leisurely downstream.
Try out the Tarabita: the basket-like cable car for one person. Swings you a short distance from one part of the forest to another, like a mechanized Tarzan!
Discover the secret nooks, crannies and rapids of the Napo River by kayaking.
Do rafting in the rivers of Jatunyaku or Anzu, beginning in the town of Tena. Or visit the Amazoonico, with the rescued animals or visit the community with their own customs and where you will receive explanations about medicinal plants.
Each day on the Napo River promises new adventure. The monkeys you spot out on the way to activities and the local community you witness. As the sun sets over the lodge head to the swimming pool to gaze at the stunning jungle view, relaxing into the night.
