Grand Selva Lodge & Tours

We had the best time ever on this 21-day round trip through Ecuador. The organization was excellent our tour guide and driver Karin was very accommodating and assisted us in every possible was. Ecuador is such a diverse country, and this trip really makes you see it all. The whole tour in German with private transportation, food, activities and lodging was excellent. They mention middle class hotels in the itinerary, but all the accommodations are actually higher standard with hot water, good Wi/Fi connections, comfortable bedding close to the attractions but protected from noise and A/C and heaters where needed. I am glad we choose to book the tour with Grand Selva. The trip would definitely not have been as enjoyable doing it ourselves and probably more expensive considering that even the round-trip flight ticket to Galapagos and the very expensive entrance fees are included. Highly recommended!

Wow- this place and hosts are incredible. I brought my family of 7 ages 17-85 (kids mom sisters) and Karin/Robert went above and beyond to accommodate and take care of us. The experiences and knowledge they shared were life changing. The lodge was beautiful and very comfortable (air condition in bedrooms) pool huge and refreshing and we always felt safe throughout our jungle adventures. My picky teenagers loved the food - and we got to experience the natural jungle through tubing - canoe- walking. Although challenging terrain - they made sure to always look out for all of us (including my 85 year old mother) treated us like family. I cannot say enough positive things about our 4 days with them. Perfect once in a lifetime experience.

A fantastic immersion to the jungle with wide variety and extremely educated guidance. Much recommended. I was well looked after by all the staff and slept incredibly comfortably. The walks, wild life an activities gave such a diverse experience and allowed you to feel at one with the jungle!

GREAT PLACE AMAZING TOURS REALLY NICE PEOPLE HIGHLY RECOMENDED. THE TOURS WERE AMAZING THE FOOD WAS FRESH HEALHTY THE CANOE RIDE WAS GREAT; THE ROOM VERY NICE AND COMFORTABLE KARIN DID AN AMAZING JOD MAKIN OUR STAY FANTASTIC IS ONE OF MY FAVORITY TRIPS IN MY LIFE

I really really enjoyed my time here. I had low expectations to be honest, because I thought I wouldn't like the heat and jungle but everything exceeded what I expected! I really loved my time there and I hope to return one day and spend more time. Karin, Roberto and Junior were very very helpful, accomodating and wanted to help. I only have positive things to say and I recommend the lodge for some real experience. It's next to the road where buses pass and the back is on the forest 100%. So you get both worlds in one! I did 2 days tour and I learnt loads. Could have done more, in retrospect, so I hope to return. I had a big room to myself and I really enjoyed the food. It was good quality. Yes it is simple and you don't choose, but I'm guessing you can ask, right? Was not important for me. You need to note that you're going in the jungle and you'll have bugs, dirt etc. The lodge is old of course but so did most of my lodgings in south America. If you want fancy stuff, pay more and/or don't go in the jungle! Besides this is what gives it a more authentic experience in my opinion! As in all of Ecuador, power goes out a few hours in a day so be prepared. Thank you guys for an amazing experience!

Great experience, did the 4 day tour, with fantastic activities, great food and comfortable facilities. Activities included river tubing, jungle walks, and animal tours. Staff were lovely, and helped arrange transport from Quito and to Teña. Our tour guide Junior was funny and knowledgeable of the region and made it a very easy tour to like. Overall very happy with whole experience.
