why golden?
The scenery itself is one of the world’s greatest treasures. But what etches this place in your heart, and the trip in your mind, is not what you see but how you see it with us. The Golden touch is the private entrance to the exotic, a personal invitation into the mythical.
Our approach makes the natural beauty shine brighter. And you’ll leave feeling fortunate to witness it, forever connected to this world beyond imagination.

La Selva Eco Lodge
Located within Ecuador’s Yasuní Biosphere Reserve and the buffer area of the National Park — one of the most biodiverse areas of the planet — La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat was among the first Amazon rainforest lodges in Ecuador and today is still regarded as the premier eco-lodge in Ecuador’s Amazon basin.
