Directions

Upon your arrival to the International Airport Mariscal Sucre in Quito, Ecuador, a La Selva representative will assist you through the check-in process for your 35 minute flight to the small town of Coca in El Oriente, or the Amazon. Once you are checked in you will receive a brief explanation as to what to expect for the rest of your trip until arrival. Upon landing at the airport in Coca, you will pass through baggage claim and then a La Selva representative will be waiting for you in order to lead you to the transportation that will ultimately take you to the river dock. Here a La Selva's motor canoe will be waiting for you to board with the guide and other La Selva representatives. You'll board with life jackets and along the way you'll be given a boxed lunch and there will be coolers filled with refreshing beverages to your liking. After this breathtaking ride down the river as your first introduction to the Amazon, staff will direct the motor canoe to La Selva's private boat landing. After you disembark there is a chance to use the restrooms and then from there La Selva staff will take care of all your luggage upon your arrival to the lodge. There is about a 10 minute walk to where more La Selva staff will be waiting your arrival in order to paddle you the rest of the way to the lodge in real authentic canoes made by the natives. This ride is about 20 minutes and finally opens up into the lagoon revealing La Selva Amazon Ecolodge & Spa on the other side.
