Urraca Lodge: Rest among giants of the dry forest

In the heart of the Jorupe Reserve, near Macará and the border with Peru, Urraca Lodge is a natural refuge 500 meters above sea level, where peace and biodiversity surround you in every corner.

Imagine waking up in a cabin surrounded by monumental ceibo trees, in the heart of a vibrant ecosystem. The lodge's six cabins have been designed to offer comfort, natural light, and harmony with the environment. Here, every detail has been carefully considered to immerse you in the unique experience of the dry forest.

Urraca Lodge features six cozy cabins, each with a private bathroom, offering comfort amidst the forest. Its open social area, which includes a panoramic bar and restaurant considered the best in the area, allows you to enjoy delicious dishes while observing rare birds and endemic species that frequent the surroundings, such as the fascinating Rufous-capped Leaf-runner, one of the world's most endangered birds that still inhabits this region.

 

With 6 double rooms, we offer ideal accommodation for up to 12 people, guaranteeing comfort and privacy.

Urraca Lodge is the ideal starting point to delve into the Tumbes dry forest, a unique setting where nature still holds secrets to be discovered.

Our paths not only cross extraordinary landscapes, they also take you along routes full of natural history.

  • Trail 1 Forest of Giants: A walk through one of the best remaining sections of the Tumbes dry forest, where giant ceiba trees stand like ancestral guardians of the forest. An ideal trail for birdwatching and connecting with nature.
  • Trail 2 The Goblin's House: This trail holds a special surprise: an enormous ceiba tree with whimsical shapes, known locally as The Goblin's House. They say its silhouette is so magical it seems straight out of a fairy tale... do you dare to discover it?
  • Trail 3 Quebrada Route: Crosses the upper part of a dry ravine, perfect for mountain biking and active hiking enthusiasts. Along the way, you'll find unique trees with names: the imposing Ceiba Macho and the curious Ceiba La Casita, both natural formations that appear sculpted by time.
