Our story

In the heart of Ecuador, a family — Ivo, Lu, and their son Isaac — dared to dream beyond the limits of city life. They left behind the rush of urban living to embrace a bold vision: to reclaim a piece of the Amazon rainforest and create a sanctuary where nature would once again be the main character.

In 2016, their journey began. Guided by hope and purpose, they discovered a breathtaking reserve near the Hollín River — a place that felt like destiny, waiting patiently for them. What started as an untouched piece of jungle has become Kuyana Amazon Lodge, a haven of sustainable luxury in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

The Creation of Kuyana Amazon Lodge

Here, comfort and conservation go hand in hand. Every cabin, trail, and meal reflects a deep respect for the forest and the people who call it home. What was once a dream is now one of the most authentic eco-lodges in Ecuador, where travelers reconnect with nature through silence, adventure, and genuine human connection.

And so, in September 2017, Kuyana Amazon Lodge welcomed its first guests. From that moment on, the Lodge became more than just a place; it became a story shared between nature and those who came to experience its wonders. With every sunrise and sunset, the family witnessed how, through love and respect, nature allowed them to open their dream to the world.

Today, the Kuyana family has grown. Each team member brings their own story, dedication, and warmth — transforming every stay into a shared experience. Guests don’t just visit; they become part of the Kuyana story — a story that continues to unfold with every tree planted, every smile exchanged, and every new soul that walks these jungle paths.

Welcome to Kuyana Amazon Lodge — where sustainable luxury meets the wild heart of the Amazon.
