Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get to Runa Huasi Lodge from Quito, and what should we expect upon arrival?

We usually fly from Quito to Coca, which is the gateway to the Amazon. From Coca, a scenic boat transfer will take you directly to Runa Huasi. The journey itself is part of the adventure, offering your first glimpses of the incredible biodiversity.

Beyond the spa and massage, what unique wildlife experiences does Runa Huasi Lodge offer near Jatun Sacha?

While the spa is a welcome indulgence, we truly love the guided jungle walks and canoe trips through the Estación Biológica Jatun Sacha. Expect to see monkeys, vibrant birdlife, and perhaps even caiman. The lodge's guides are exceptional at spotting creatures we'd otherwise miss.

Given Runa Huasi is an eco-lodge, what are the accommodations like, and how does it balance luxury with sustainability?

The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, with beautifully appointed rooms that blend seamlessly into the rainforest. They've mastered sustainable practices without compromising comfort, using natural materials and respecting the environment. It's a truly immersive yet pampered experience.

What's the ideal time of year to visit Runa Huasi Lodge for the best weather and wildlife viewing in this part of Ecuador?

We find the dry season, generally from June to September, offers the most comfortable conditions with less rain. However, the rainforest is vibrant year-round, and wildlife sightings are consistently good, so don't let a little rain deter you.

Considering the luxury price range, what's included in a typical stay at Runa Huasi Lodge, and are there any hidden costs we should be aware of?

A luxury stay typically includes your accommodation, all meals, and guided excursions. We recommend confirming with the lodge directly about what's covered, but generally, drinks and spa treatments are additional. It's worth the investment for the quality of service and access to the reserve.
