Happy Gringo Travel: Yasuní Ecolodge 5 Days 2026

• The Yasuni Ecolodge boasts an amazing location inside Yasuni National Park. Yasuni is the most biodiverse ecosystem on the planet & recommended by National Geographic as one of the top places in the world to visit in 2022!
• In just one Yasuni hectare, one can find more species of organisms than in the entire European continent! The national park is home to a third of all Amazonian mammals, including a staggering 60% of all New World wild cats, 106 reptiles, and 610 species of bird; as well as more than 4000 species of plants. Yasuni Ecolodge is the perfect means to experience all of this incredible biodiversity.
• A visit to Yasuni Ecolodge is also a true cultural experience. You'll stay in the Anangu community, sharing daily life with the locals who keep authentic age-old customs alive.
• All proceeds from your stay at Yasuni Ecolodge go back to the Anangu people. This helps them to improve their living standards, with better access to healthcare, education & clean energy sources, and at the same time helps them to protect the rainforest environment.
