Our story

In the heart of Ecuador, there was a family—Ivo, Lu, and little Saky—who dared to dream beyond the limits of city life. They left behind the hustle and bustle of urban existence, driven by a vision that glimmered like a distant star: to reclaim a piece of the jungle and craft a magical sanctuary where nature herself would be the main character.

The year was 2016 when their adventure truly began. With hearts full of hope, they stumbled upon a breathtaking reserve, a place where the whispers of the forest spoke of untold possibilities. It was a place that felt like destiny, as if it had been waiting for them all along. Yet, their journey was only just beginning.

The Creation of Kuyana Amazon Lodge

For months, they worked tirelessly, shaping the land with their hands and hearts. It was a labor of love, patience, and effort, but finally, by the end of 2017, the first part of their vision became a reality. Roads were carved through the wilderness, basic services were installed, and, as if by magic, five beautiful rooms emerged, each more enchanting than the last.

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 person who joins this journey adds their own chapter to the story, touching the hearts of every visitor who steps foot into this paradise. Their dedication, commitment, and warmth exceed expectations, creating a home away from home where guests not only stay but become part of the Kuyana tale—a story that continues to unfold with every new soul that walks its paths.
