About the Reserve
We are part of a community of biological reserves that together support preservation of the Ecuatorian Amazon. In 2001 this reservation was acquired by the Miller family with the intention to preserve it as a natural rainforest habitat. 114 and hectares (345 acres), the equivalent for 120 football fields, were designated for this purpose. The MM reserve is framed at the 
south by the Puni and Arahuano rivers, where the Puni Bocana village is located, on the north we are very close to the port of Misahualli, the original tourist station in the area. To the east lies the Satun Sacha reservation, but there exists no actual physical demarcation to separate it from ours. You can find more about our location here...
About Us
We are a family-owned and operated business, founded upon the commitment to contribute to the preservation of Amazon rainforest. It all started when an Ecuatorian emigrant to the United States, Marco Lopez-Miller, sought out to purchase a little land for his retirement in his homeland, and ended up with this marvelous portion of wildlife ecosystem and accompanying guest lodge. He eventually named it after his mother, a hard working Ecuatorian woman. Their goal is to share this treasure with you, while helping Amazon land preservation efforts and support to the neighboring community of Puni Bocana. Finally, they get to share some of the magic their country of Ecuador holds for us all.
