Introduction:
Amarongachi's world-famous eco-lodges were designed to compliment the natural balance of a country that offers more eco-diversity per square kilometre than any other on Earth.
High on the forested banks of the Rio Napo headwaters, both Cabañas Amarongachi and Cabañas Shangrila have become such an accepted part of the jungle habitat that they are visited on a daily basis by an immense variety of wildlife. Spend a few days jungle-trekking with our experienced guides, visiting indigenous villages, rafting the rapids, or just watching the procession of regular visitors from the panoramic terrace…and we guarantee that you'll soon be back too!
