The resort is built on 5 ha. Is located on the banks of Misahuallí River , a tributary of Napo River , which forms after about 1400 km, in Perú, the Amazon. These rivers are so called White Waters. That means that they or their tributaries rise in the Andes Mountains and they always carry sediments along. This is also why they are relatively entrophic and they look muddy and dirty because of the stirred up sediments. The opposite is Black Water. These rivers or lakes rise in the Amazon Basin by ground or rainwater; because of weathering of plants, they are very acid and dark, but clear and oligotrophic water. The closed village to the hotel, 4 kilometers away, is  Misahuallí .

For a long time Misahuallí village has seen the end of the road and the starting point for journeys into the Ecuadorian part of the Amazon rainforest, which was completely undeveloped until the discovery of petrol 30 years ago. Here at the foot of the Andes the altitude is about 450 meter. It falls a lot of rain, from 3500 to 4000 mm per year. There are no marked seasons because of nearby equator. The rainfalls are spread equally over all the year; but specially from June to November. The temperature is in between 15-18° C by night and 28-33 C during day. During rainy  season the jungle is most attractive and the rivers are most navigable. Clothing is the same all the year: l ight, cotton clothes, long pants and long-sleeved shirts for the jungle walks, sun hats and sunglasses indispensable. (Rubber boots you get in your Lodge). Don't forget your photo camera!
