Thank you for your email. First of all let me say its great to have you on board of one of our adventures! Personally, I would recommend the Black Sheep Inn but its entirely up to you. These are a few comments about the Eco-lodge:

As far as payments go, we recommend bank transfer to show transparency of fund movement. I Jonathon Stanton, can take payments in Pounds, US Dollars & Euros to a number of banks in the UK, Ecuador or off shore International banks.Not to mention the fact we can sort out exchange rates too! There is the option of paying by paypal but this will incur surcharges.
As far as your jungle trip...if you are interested in deep jungle, I would recommend that you take a flight to one of the deep jungle lodges, as otherwise you will spend the majority of the 4 days getting there. One of these such lodges is Kapawi lodge. Below is a link to an article written by a past client about the Kapawi Lodge so you can check it out for an unbiased opinion:
I''m not sure what your budget is for the jungle trip but the Kapawi lodge is definitely worth it but quite pricy. I will phone them tomorrow to find out pricing for this lodge, as I don''t have the exact details. If you choose a trip like this one, we would not have to find two more people to go on the tour as we would not be driving you there. If this type of trip interests you please let me know?
Well let me know what you think and I hope to hear back from you soon,
