You step off the air-conditioned shuttle and the air changes—warm, green, heavy with rain and life. The lodge sits a short walk from the Pusuno River; a private sandy beach and a stand of tall trees frame the water, and the river calls you to slow down. Guides meet you with rubber boots and a plan: jungle trails, a tubing float, a night walk and a canoe trip down the Napo.
