Amazing experience! - One of the best experiences I had, I wish I could stay longer at Caiman lodge. Organization was perfect and I had great time with a lot of nice memories

The Caiman Lodge, or how to visit the Cuyabeno reserve in the best conditions - The state of emergency in force in the country meant that we traveled by road safely from Quito to Lago Agrio, and then to the bridge at the entrance to the nature reserve from where we were transported to at the Caiman Lodge in a canoe. Two hours of journey in a sublime setting, and once in the reserve, a magnificent lake (although the rain was missed), pink dolphins in the rivers, paiches, snakes, monkeys, caimans, Hoatzins and other birds of great beauty, a horde of peccaries, etc., thanks to Jairo, our guide and great connoisseur of the jungle. The lodge is very beautiful, clean, comfortable, its cook is excellent, all the staff are helpful, kind and attentive to our needs. We hope to return to this place and this lodge soon. Thank you to the entire Caiman Lodge team!

The best in cuyabeno - I stayed at Caiman Lodge for 4 days, it was an unforgettable experience, I loved everything, the welcome, the staff, the food was very good and to all tastes, the rooms were cleaned every day, I thank everyone the team on site and especially my guide David and his professionalism

THE best Amazon experience you could ask for. - THE best Amazon experience you could ask for. I have also been to the Amazon, entering in Iquitos, Peru. Caiman Eco-lodge is another level. Dave, our guide, is dynamite and anyone who gets him will not regret their experience. The cabins, day plans, food and organization are 5/5. Paul and Dorian helped with everything, promptly responding to any requests and have your interests in mind- they're not trying to upgrade or sell you a product. I've been backpacking for 15+ years and this company is the best I have come across. (This trip took place prior to COVID).

In Ecuador during Corona - I went to Ecuador & Galapagos in the beginning of March 2020. Corona was far away and in Europe still in the very beginning. I started my trip in Quito and spent the first day 'shopping' for daytours like Amazone and off course Galapagos. My last stop was Carpe DM and that was the best partner for me. They offer good prices, the staff is really friendly, patientle, helpful and professional, and they offer all kind of great tours. I booked the following tours with them: 1) Free Walking Tour: you should do this! It is very entertaining, even when you have a jet lag. Very good info and professional guide! 2) Amazone trip (Caiman Lodge): everything is arranged from A to Z. Perfect location, very professional guide and the surrounding is amazing! 3) Quilotoa Lake: first it didn't seem possible to book this tour on the day I wanted (I wanted to go on a day without visiting markets). But they've made some calls around to find more travellers willing to go an that specific day, while I was in the Amazone, and it worked out with a group of 4 persons! Super! 4) Galapagos: Dorian was a big help finding the right cruise for me. Very patient, explained all details and providing me good advice. Also with the flight tickets! Unfortunately, the cruise was cancelled due to Corona and he informed me immediately. Because this was a unique situation, I will never forget it. All the people living in Ecuador are so nice and willing to help, but in this time I needed it more than ever. Information on shutting down tours and eventually the country was very mixed. The border was closing and I needed to get home safely. I did luckily, but I paid the Galapagos cruise which is a big part of my trip and coul never enjoy it. CarpeDM did everything they could to transfer the money back and it worked out well! Even though they didn't know if they would receive a refun fromd the cruise operators. Besides the refund they took great care of, I would directely go back to CarpeDM and book the Galapgos trip once I go back to Ecuador. They are so friendly, willing to think with you and professional, wouldn't spend time on any other operator! I've been travelling around for quite some years, so that says a lot! Thank you Paul, Dorian and all other staff! Stay safe & healthy!

Caiman Lodge - Really good trip. Guide was excellent - very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions (and he was entertaining also). Saw lots of wildlife - particularly enjoyed the night walk. It was beautiful falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest each night.

Trip to the jungle - Our trip to the jungle was a once in a life time experience. All the staff were incredible and made our experience very special. We especially enjoyed drifting along the river in the boat taking in the beautiful scenery and animals, the pink dolphins and monkeys. The sunset swims were definitely another highlight! I have recommended this tour to many people.

***** carpedm Siona lodge - Amazon - 4 day trip ***** - Undoubtedly one of the best trips I’ve been on. Compared to some tour operators I’ve used in South America, Carpedm were fantastic and organised and we had no problems throughout. The lodge was beautiful and well equipped considering it’s in the middle of the Amazon! Staff were friendly and attentive. Our guide’s (Luis) knowledge was second to none, his ability to spot animals in the Amazon was incredible. Highlights included travelling in the canoes and seeing the Amazon rainforest by night, swimming whilst watching the sunset, walks in the Amazon and visiting local villages. I could not recommend Carpedm more.

Caiman Lodge - Everything was really well organized! We got our own private room in a beautiful resort. The food was really good, although the chefs didn't understand that we were vegetarians.

Amazonas 4 day tour - caiman lodge - Great and awesome time at caiman lodge! Everyday at least 2 activities, boat rides, treks/walks, birds/wildlife spotting, visiting community, shaman, paddling, night walks, sun set swimming, SUP... Good food in the lodge, 3 meals a day, purified water, coffee/tea, also catered for allergies. We were 2 girls in a 3 bed room, super comfy beds, sleeping with the sound of the jungle, clean bathroom, hammock in front. Watch tower with nice view. They provide everything you need, rain ponchos and rubber boots! And you can spot a lot of wildlife, during day and night. We had the best guides with a lot of knowledge and experience. Unfortunately barely free time, always exploring ;) Carpedm adventures provides a private night bus from Quito to Lago Agrio, much better than the public bus! Also you can stay before/after in Quito at Carpedm Hostel (Casa Carpedm, just 1 block from Secret Garden where the bus leaves for the Amazonas tour!) with free luggage storage and the best beds in all Ecuador!
