CASA DEL SUIZO

ECO FRIENDLY

Casa del Suizo,satiate your curiosity for the Amazon rainforest, learn new things and most importantly, have fun and relax with friends and family in one of the most established jungle lodges in Ecuador. Each day on the Napo River promises new adventure: the monkeys you spot out on the way to activities, the local community you witness; and the raft you build with your own hands. As the sun sets over La Casa del Suizo head to the swimming pool to gaze at the stunning jungle view, relaxing into the night.

It’s easy to forget how close you are to civilisation when surrounded by the perfect wilderness of the Napo River, the Amazon’s largest and most powerful tributary, and its lush, tropical forests. But La Casa del Suizo is accessible by car or bus (with a secure carpark to leave your vehicle) around three and a half hours from Quito, followed by an easy 20-minute ride on motorized canoe.

The Casa del Suizo Lodge Difference
Casa del Suizo Lodge is one of the best accommodations in the Reserve , offering the perfect combination of sustainability, comfort, and adventure.

Ideal for wildlife lovers, adventure seekers, and nature photographers

Discover the magic of the Ecuadorian Amazon through a variety of unforgettable adventures at La Casa del Suizo. Explore lush rainforest trails, glide along scenic rivers, soar through the treetops, and experience exciting outdoor activities surrounded by incredible wildlife and breathtaking natural landscapes. Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, every experience offers a unique connection with the beauty and culture of the Amazon.

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, taking you through thick and humid jungle, crossing muddy paths and encountering all sorts of wildlife. All the while your local guide will introduce you to all the hidden secrets and wonders of the jungle.

 Follow in the footsteps of Francisco de Orellana – the Spanish discoverer of the River Amazon – himself as you build your own raft, known as a balsa, using the same technique indigenous communities have for centuries, and still use to this day. 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 – and hopefully staying afloat. Your guides will accompany you each step of the adventure, along with your motorized canoe.

Floating down the Arajuno River, gazing at the sky and the tree-lined banks, your bottom firmly wedged into a rubber ring and grazing the surface of the water, you would be forgiven for thinking you had drifted into an Amazon dream land. In this activity, a guide will accompany you in a motorized canoe and will pick you up at the end of the run.

To up the adventure factor on your trek through Misicocha, try out the tarabita. Found in the depths of our private reserve, the basket-like cable car for one person swings you a short distance from one part of the forest to another, like a mechanised Tarzan! A guide waits at both ends to oversee your safe departure and arrival.

Make like a monkey swinging from the tree tops at the Canopy Adventure Park, where zip-lines for almost all ages have you whizzing with joy through foliage and across the jungle floor. Our experienced guides and premium materials ensure that it’s an entirely safe experience, and with the Edelrid Smart Belay system you’re always snapped onto the line by at least one point.

Discover the secret nooks, crannies and rapids of the Napo River and its tributaries at your own pace on this thrilling voyage, accompanied by experienced kayaking and safety professionals. Ages 12 and up.

From here, guests have the opportunity to look for the primate species that inhabit the
surrounding forest, including woolly monkeys, and spider monkeys. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but this protected area offers excellent
opportunities to observe these animals behaving naturally.
Pygmy marmosets also inhabit the area, although they are much more elusive and are only
occasionally encountered during the experience.

This rafting takes place in the rivers of Jatunyaku or Anzu, beginning in the town of Tena (La Casa del Suizo can arrange transport there for an additional fee). After being fitted with a life-jacket and helmet safety and paddling practice it’s off onto the jungle waters for a day that contrasts furious paddling down fun, bouncy rapids and moments of quiet contemplation of the beauty of the passing jungle.

Enjoy a comfortable stay surrounded by the beauty of the Ecuadorian Amazon. The standard cabins at La Casa del Suizo are designed for relaxation and comfort, featuring spacious hammocks and breathtaking views of the Napo River and the rainforest.
