Kuyana is a stunning boutique style ecolodge located in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Despite being just a 3.5 hour drive from Quito and within easy reach of the city of Tena, the lodge provides a great introduction for guests looking for an authentic jungle experience, without having to forego convenience and comfort. Nestled on the banks of the Hollín River, the property provides an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy a magical jungle experience through genuine local experiences, incredible biodiversity, organic food, and rewarding adventure excursions. The seven comfortable rooms and bungalows are surrounded by nature, while the swimming pool, bar and restaurant offer a relaxing environment to unwind in after a day of exploration.
