Our History

Discover the Origin of Hakuna Matata

Eighteen years ago, three families who fell in love with the Ecuadorian Amazon acquired 124 hectares of a distressed forest that belonged to a cattle ranch that had invaded the ecosystem.

After a long collaborative effort with the local community, we began a conservation and reforestation project called Hakuna Matata Amazon Lodge.

Progress and Growth

Over time, our message has spread, and more people have joined us in our work. The lodge staff, belonging to the Chaupishungo and La Libertad communities, are in constant training and learning to keep us at the forefront of global tourism while prioritizing sustainability and forest conservation.

Years of discipline and immense love for the Amazon rainforest have allowed the lodge to grow, with more people from around the world also falling in love with this place and seeing our project as a second home.

A dream come true

The land that was once deteriorated has now regenerated. Thanks to our efforts, those of the community, and our visitors, it has become a healthy, beautiful, and growing secondary forest. While the goal of Hakuna Matata has been achieved, our dreams have grown larger, and the objective now is to promote the value of sustainable tourism so that more and more hectares of the Amazon rainforest can regenerate.
