Gaia Amazon EcoLodge

GAIA lodge and Spanish school is a small venture located in the Amazon Rainforest, one of the most beautiful and bio diverse areas of the world. Our goal is to offer great services in a familiar atmosphere. Our services, activities and tours are designed to offer a complete immersion in the nature and culture of the Amazon Rainforest. All participants can be part of our staff, and benefits our services at the same time, such as spanish courses, activities and tours.

Being the owner, I am flexible and friendly person always ready to support my staff. I maintain friendly relationships with every person involved in GAIA as well as the indigenous communities living nearby. Most of our staff is native indigenous that speaks Kichwa and Spanish. They are welcoming and friendly people always open to learn new things.
Our volunteers can expect to be treated with respect and kindness in a friendly atmosphere. Be sure that we'll also take a good care of your safety and comfort, we reseve tourists and students, so everything is thought to make them (and volunteers) feeling at home.

The accommodation is a beautiful place in the Amazon, the food is very tasty, everything is very comfortable, you can go to many tours, the kitchen girls are super cute, only that the real host isn't usually Agustin, it's Marco and he can be a bit jarring, he says he's direct but I would say he's not very friendly, if you don't like him you'll be in a bad mood and he'll remind you that 'they don't need volunteers' ? But afterward you'll be asked to work more hours 🤔 so if you sometimes do a couple more hours, the job is to clean and attend to the customers in the 3 meal shifts and wash the dishes. So you're free in between

En el alojamiento viví una experiencia que superó todas mis expectativas. El lugar es mágico, rodeado de naturaleza, animales y una paz que te envuelve. Desde el primer minuto me sentí como en casa, gracias a un equipo maravilloso que me enseñó con paciencia y cariño. Agustín siempre estuvo pendiente de mí, asegurándose de que todo estuviera bien. Me voy con el corazón lleno de gratitud por esta oportunidad, y sin pensarlo, la repetiría mil veces.
