Magia Verde Lodge

Amazingly tranquil and magical. The energy of the land and river is potent! Magia Verde is full of Integrity and Heart. Scott is a inspirational soul, and dedicated custodian of this sacred place. Highly recommended!!

Scott has a little jungle paradise and is willing to share it! The days were hot and rainy, but oh so beautiful. The life of the jungle I can’t get enough of. We were never overworked, Scott is super fair and a giving guy. We enjoyed hanging out with him and his buddy Damian, listening to music and getting into good conversation. Go help him with his project! Gracias Scott - the stay was short but sweet!!

Thank you very much Scott for your welcome. Spend 3 very good weeks in this volunteering. The place is beautiful and Scott a very good person. You can choose the tasks and they are not difficult. The project is very nice and deserves the success. It is a very recommended place for all those who love nature. Good luck and success!

Had a great stay at Scotts! His beautiful pure land makes it easy to help with whatever he needs done, we arranged some rocks for his trail, weeded for most of the days, painted & cleaned some rocks. Great guy, willing to share all of his food & makes sure you have a comfortable stay. Total tranquility. Misahualli is a special place.

Amazing place & great host! Definitely recommend this place. Thanks a lot, Scott. It's been awesome to stay with you!!

I spent two wonderful weeks with Scott, his girlfriend, their dog and their two cats. He really has a vision for his property and is trying his best to get it started as soon as the nature lets him. I really felt at home there and would love to come back to see how the place has changed!

Jungle bliss.. Ouiouioui! Scott is a monkey man feeding his monkey/marmoset brothers with fruit, fruit and more fruit trees. And no words would make justice to this humble project. Scott makes you feel at home the very first day.. He shares his dreams, his life, his home, his forest, his food, you name it! If you are lucky enough, he’ll make you his eggplant curry with mani (peanut butter) sauce.

I had a great time at Scotts place. It is just a beautiful place surrounded by so much life. Scott is an easygoing guy who was great to spend time with. The work was interesting and abilities were always taken into account, I got to do some cool creative cement work. Our San Pedro ceremony was also an amazing experience. I would fully recommend staying here and will for sure pay a visit if I'm back in Ecuador!

During the two weeks we spent at Scott's lodge, we were able to really experience the rainforest and Misahuallí. We are very grateful for the time spent at Scott's and the friends we made there. Special thanks for an epic birthday celebration! Good luck with your project and thank you for everything, we hope to come back in a few years to see your progress and catch up! Cheers 🙂

What an amazing month we spent with Scott! Thank you for sharing your dreams and visions with us, thank you for caring about the earth and doing all you can to protect the forests. Thank you for the magical expansive sacred San Pedro journeys and the deeper more profound connection with nature’s wonder! Scott, you have quickly become my life Long Brother.

Really loved my stay in Misahualli! Scott's place is so pretty! Right next to the river! And so much fun with the other volunteers! Great vibes all around. Felt very welcome, appreciated and taken care of by Scott. There's something to do there for everyone, very flexible! Just come and use your skill set to make the place a little better. Absolutely recommend! Such good memories!

Scott has a very unique and special place in the jungle. It is awesome to see someone living their dream and to be a small part of what Scott is creating. Learning to work in collaboration with nature and the elements...... it does not seem like work when you are so close to the river, the jungle and all the wild life.

I spent around two weeks in the project of Scott. Thank you so much. Was so nice to live in this little wood house in the jungle, close to the river. Such a good environment to take a good breath. Beautiful wildlife, birds and monkeys :). Beautiful paths in the jungle are actually in construction.

Scott, thank you for this beautiful garden forest you are putting together for people and animals visiting you. I had a magical stay at yours. Waking up to the forest’s symphony, melting through the day’s sun, dipping into the sweet muddy punono river and meeting the magical: el señor Pedro, were revitalizing. I’ll definitely visit you in the near future to walk the magical mosaic pathway.

The work hours are really super fair and the work is always interesting and does make sense to me ; creating drain for the flood, reforesting the land, making trails throught the jungle, making a vegetable garden.. So cool to chill there, cook and have fun with scott and the other volunteers. The san pedro session was mind blowing.

It was a privilege to share the Grandfather and meditate under the huge Ceiba tree on the new moon. In Maya culture the Ceiba is the connection between Heaven and Earth, the point for communications between the higher and lower realms. All contribute to making the experience so special, unique and tranquil.
