About

We are located 5 minute walk from the main and local bus terminals, close to markets, coffee shops, laundromats, and ATMs.
From the bus terminal to the hostel it takes 5 minutes (on foot). Take Avenida 15 de Noviembre and walk to the hospital José María Velasco Ibarra (main hospital). In front of the hospital, there is a pharmacy with a red sign. On the left is the entrance to the hostel.
Within a short bus ride from our lodge, you can find lagoons and waterfalls, green rivers, visit Quechua ethnic groups, try ayahuasca or extreme sports such as rafting or kayaking (Tena is considered one of the best rafting destinations in South America).
We encourage you to enjoy the food of the region or the nightlife of the city, especially on weekends.
Tena is a meeting point for tourists who want to enjoy the Amazon region of Ecuador. Tena can be reached in only 3 hours by bus from Baños or 4 hours from Quito.

My stay in Zumag Sisa was very pleasant. The owner of the hostel was really friendly, looking out for me, helping me with any question I had regarding Tena, or Ecuador in general. She was de sweetest hostesse I have had. The kitchen is equiped and you can get purified water if the host is there. The location is ideal and you get a key to enter the hostel.

I really enjoyed my stay at Zumag Sisa! Marcia was incredible, she told me where I should go on such a short stay in Tena. it was only a few days but I was able to enjoy my time here. as a beginner Spanish speaker she helped me a lot with practicing my Spanish and visiting the local sights like Laguna Azul and some good restaurants!

The hostel is ideally located near the bus station so perfect when arriving in the middle of the night. We were the only visitors in the hostel and only stayed one night. Important to note is that the dorm room has a roof which is not attached which means bugs/mosquitoes can get in. It’s not a social hostel and also does not offer activities. The host is very friendly and helpful (only speaks Spanish).
