I stayed in Siona Lodge for 4 nights! The lodge was great, really clean,hot showers and great food! Our guide Luis was amazing! He grew up in the jungle so has a great knowledge of the area, he also speaks 5 languages. The wildlife was awesome we saw pink dolphins, anacondas, boas, caimens, sloths and lots of different bird species!

A nice smaller lodge, only room for 25 people or so. It's rustic - very eco-friendly. There were a few leaks in the rooms and such, but that was all part of the experience. We saw pretty much everything we wanted to, except an anaconda. It's pretty good when you can say 'Oh, it's just another river dolphin', or 'Just... More

We had Louis as our guide and Biron as our boat driver, between the two of them our group had an amazing... More

Having just returned from Ecuador, I thought I should mention what an outstanding time we had at Siona Lodge. When I was looking at lodges in the Cuyabeno it seemed impossible to differentiate. Rest assured, Siona Lodge is wonderful. The staff are warm hearted, courteous, and friendly to a fault. Our guide was Wilmer, he can tell you a bird... More

The Siona Lodge is a great place to visit The reserve from. We enjoyed having an indigenious guide Luis who supplied us with vast information on wildlife and the people who live in the area. The activities were great and having Luis as a guide made it even better! The staff on site was excellent and the cooks were very... More

The lodge is fairly basic and has everything you need, nothing special to write home about. I was a bit disappointed that we were not served more local cusine, including fresh fruit/vegetables from the amazon, however, i believe its because it is a national reserve and the lodges are not allowed to grow anything. What made our stay memorable and... More
