Jamu Lodge is located in the Cuyabeno Reserve in the northeastern part of Ecuador, this reserve is accessible from Lago Agrio. All rooms are lit naturally with candles to preserve the feeling of being in a remote jungle; solar panels provide electricity and are used to operate and charge electronic devices.
