In the centre of the primary forest of the Ecuadorian Amazon, in the Yasuni national park, are the Bataburo huts. Located in full Huaorani Indian territory, on the banks of rio Tiguino, this lodge was built on their ancestral territory, in collaboration with the Huaorani organisation, the ONHAE.

Huts are built in the pure style of the Amazonian natives, in complete harmony with the jungle.
