Before embarking on your journey, ensure your vaccines are up-to-date. While the Ministry of Public Health in Ecuador mandates yellow fever vaccination proof for travelers to its northern Amazonian provinces, this isn't a requirement if you're heading to the southern regions, such as where our lodge is situated. Still we recommend having a vaccination against yellow fever as an additional precaution. Nevertheless, anti-malaria medication is essential.

Should an emergency arise, our first course of action is to provide initial care at the lodge. If necessary, guests are transferred to the nearest health center. In dire cases requiring aerial evacuation, guests are flown from the lodge to Shell. Three local hospitals in the vicinity are adept at handling medical emergencies:

We can't emphasize enough the importance of securing comprehensive travel insurance for your journey. It's wise to opt for a policy that covers trip cancellations or interruptions, unexpected delays, baggage issues (loss or theft), travel accidents, medical bills, hospital stays, and most crucially, emergency medical evacuation. Think of trip cancellation insurance as your safety net: it ensures reimbursement of non-refundable expenses if you have to call off your trip due to specific unforeseen incidents, illnesses, or injuries affecting you, a travel mate, or a family member.
