Pacoche Lodge & Reserve

A can't-miss stop during a tour of the coast. This microclimate gives a small glimpse into the beauty and diversity of a rainforest. Wonderful staff, beautiful surroundings. Trails that can be enjoyed repeatedly. LOTS of birds to identify. It's an eco-reserve, so expect critters and bring good insect repellent.

I had an absolute amazing time while staying at Pacoche Lodge & Reserve! Johnny and his family were the kindest people I've ever met. I was travelling alone from Canada and they treated me like family. The jungle walk is so beautiful and unique. This is hands down the best jungle tour in this region of Ecuador. I was able to see howler monkey's eating fruit from the trees on the property and Johnny showed me plants that were used for medicine. His wife cooked some of the best food I've ever had. Local shrimp and fresh veggies. I would recommend this place to everybody, do yourself a favour and book a few nights here. :)
