SUSTAINABILITY
WILDLIFE RESERVE
Cuyabeno Reserve a natural sanctuary that encompasses more than 590.112 hectares of virgin rainforest. This sustainability protected area is a haven for an amazing diversity of wildlife, including monkeys, pink dolphins, anacondas and more than 500 species of birds. The reserve is also home to numerous medicinal plants and ancient trees, essential to the ecological and cultural balance of the region.
Our lodge is committed to working in harmony with this environment, making continuous efforts to monitor and preserve native species, as well as to restore degraded habitats.
ENVIROMENTAL POLICY
We have developed an environmental policy, which we must respect as much as possible, providing a sustained commitment to local communities and the environment to ensure we have a positive effect. It is about “giving something back.”.
✓ We take care of our natural resources through a constantly monitored process. Solid and liquid waste disposal and water treatment use biodigesters and filtration systems.
✓ Our latest achievement in regular excursions is that we have started using eco-friendly motors, reducing CO2 pollution and lowering noise levels. Local communities used fiber material to make additional canoes.
✓We offer more activities such as hiking, paddling canoes, and paddleboarding to take care of the environment and add value to your experience in nature.
✓ We encourage the use of bottles and plastic bags at the lodge with the staff as well as with our visitors, and we ask that the use of rechargeable batteries with our devices is very important for us.
✓ Our compost system allows us to manage the organic waste at the lodge.
We appreciate all the living biodiversity through our sustainability activities while we walk in the forest or while exploring rivers and lagoons, which also allows us to learn how to protect it because this is the way we leave our best footprint in nature, which is everyone’s commitment.
RESPONSIBLE ACTIVITIES & OPERATION
We strive to offer activities that are not only exciting and educational, but also responsible and sustainable.
✓ Guided Ecological Tours. Our highly trained local guides offer informative tours that highlight the importance of biodiversity, sustainability and conservation practices.

SOCIAL COMMITMENT
