We stayed four days at the Amarongachi Jungle Eco-Lodge in January. It worked out to $50 US per day. Day 1 - dinner only and hiking around the Eco-Lodge for 2 hours. Day 2 - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Indigenous Museum with traps and medicinal plants in the morning and visiting an animal recovery shelter for jungle animals that have... More

I stayed here for four nights on a father-daughter trip to Ecuador in March, 2008. Not sure of the current prices, but at 40 dollars a day, we got a room in a rustic cabana overlooking the most impossibly gorgeous views of the Ecuadorean jungle 100 meters below a cliff, three full meals with wonderful local fruits, and a selection...

We spent there 4 days in September 2009. We had great time there. However we were two and they joined us with some Kumuka Tour which had an annoying guide Brandon (the guy was for example screaming while hiking through the jungle...a very stupid and unappropriate behaviour!!!). The program was nice with rafting, hiking through the jungle, visiting an indegouneus... More

stunning location overlooking the beautiful amazon river. very friendly staff and voluminous plates of food. ample activities and helpful english-speaking guides, particularly christian. no health and safety - a real go-get-it attitude. great walks, rafting, waterfall hiking and similar. cabins basic with electricity from a generator and no hot water. expect to be bitten, too, this is insect country. but,...

As part of a 4 night/day jungle package, we spent time at the Amarongachi Lodge, and ate there but actually spent the night at the Amarongachi owned Cabinas Shangri La instead. According to others who stayed there, whilst a basic cabin, Amarongachi cabins were the more authentic jungle experience. There were also run by a local family who had lovely... More

We stayed here for two nights while travelling around South America with our favourite Kiwi's in September 2009. This place is set in one of the most fantastic locations you could imagine. Its perched high above the river with epic views over the amazon rainforest looking back up to the Andean Mountains on the horizon. On our first night we... More

We spent 3 nights/4 days at Shagri-La. We very much enjoyed our visit. Our main guide, Matildo, was very friendly and knowledgable about the area. The lodge was a bit rustic - but that was our expectation. The view was absolutely gorgeous. The adventure level for our family (2 kids - ages 17 and 14) was just about right, and... More

Having already spent four wonderful days deep in the jungle four hours down the Napo River from Coca, I did not expect too much from the Shangri La and its programme of activities, but I enjoyed myself nonetheless. The best thing is the location on a bluff overlooking a bend in the Anzu River. The lodge itself is ramshackle and... More

We recently spent 3 nights at Shangri-La, arriving in Tena after a long bus ride from Quito. Julio at Amagaronchi was very helpful in advance and very easy to deal with, but we arrived to find that our schedule had changed dramatically. Instead of canoe trips to villages, journeys to wildlife preserves, and the opportunity to go rafting, each day... More
