In November 2025, we spent 9 nights at the Aguas Negras River Lodge. A truly amazing adventure! Deep in the rainforest, in a heavenly spot on the Cuyabeno River. And with every comfort you could wish for. An excellent guide (Diego) and a super friendly and hospitable host (Sandra). And not to forget the Kichwa family who looked after us and prepared delicious food for us. As nature lovers, we never had a dull moment...

This lodge is the closed experience of staying in traditional ancestoral houses without having to sacrifice on modern conveniance like private bathroom, comfy bed... It is far away from other lodges on a seperate river in one of the most versatile and intact Amazon Rainforests.

A lovely lodge nestled in the heart of Cuyabueno, to welcome us wonderful people, always kind and attentive and a truly super guide! This is not the usual tourist place, they give you an authentic experience, where respect and love for nature come first. The food that is served is typical and very good, the lodge is simple but very neat and beautiful, the rooms are spacious and clean. We go home with a full heart and we will definitely come back because it was great and Aguas Negras deserves so much. We only had a few days and they arranged a personalized experience...

We had no idea what to expect and every experience was better than we could have imagined. My husband and I didn't stay in the lodge, we did the 6 day 5 night Pink Dolphin Trail (Now called: Green Silence Camping Safari) canoe trip. We saw the pink dolphins and swam with them. We saw river otters, caimen, and turtles. We saw more parrots and toucans and other birds than we could count, all expertly spotted by our indigenous guide Freddy, and our canoe captain.

Recommended..!! What an incredible place on the riverbank, so remoted, so quiet (except of the jungle sounds at day- and nighttime). Comfortable, excellent food and staff!. My best jungle travel experiences. Never, never seen so much wildlife in the jungle (a lot of species of monkeys, ara’s, parrots, and toucans, pink dolphins, giant otters, tree-anteater, anaconda, armadillo, frogs and butterfly’s...

This was a truly amazing experience! As nature lovers, visiting the Amazon was a major part of our trip to Ecuador. The Aguas Negras Lodge and, in particular, our guide, exceeded anything we could have expected! Our guide took us on jungle walks and canoe trips, with the latter allowing us to get to remote areas and observe wildlife quietly. We saw river dolphins, toucans, parrots, deer, lizards, frogs, leaf cutter ants, piranha, and many other unique species.

Small, nice, deep in the Amazon region. Our guide, was simply great, impressive and very helpful. The food is fresh, healthy and excellent. A unique experience, far away from everyday life!

Even the almost four-hour drive by motor canoe is an experience, lets you drive down and tune into the jungle. The lodge is functional, clean and tastefully decorated. And the “digital detoxing” is just good. There are exciting excursions on land and especially on the river. It is a privilege to experience the green lungs of the world in this way!

We loved the lodge. We've been to Cuyabeno before but this lodge is the best. Super quiet and away from everything, not like the typical Cuyabeno lodges. It is super recommended for families with children. Super friendly staff and my kids loved them. I love that you are directly on the river with a spectacular view. Many times only sitting in the deck can you observe the flora and fauna that makes this region of Ecuador unique.

Highly recommended for everything. Good facilities, excellent and varied food. Everything very clean and organized. Perfect personal attention. The spectacular location. Far from main roads we were practically alone. The activities give a very complete vision of the jungle. Everything is done in collaboration with the indigenous community and in our case, since we speak Spanish, they were our main guides. Excellent people, both the indigenous people and Fabián. The overall experience was very rewarding for me.
