CONSERVATION
Cuyabeno Lodge started operating in 1989 as the first eco-friendly Lodge in the Cuyabeno Reserve. But what exactly means eco-friendly? Well, the lodge does everything possible to blend in with nature to minimize the human impact on the rainforest. And how do we achieve this? Providing, for example, biodegradable products like shampoos and soaps, and using natural building materials like palm leaves for the roofs of the cabins. In addition to this, our energy is provided by solar panels.
The rainforest is endangered: by climate change, oil companies, and humans in general. That is why it is more important than ever to take care of this very special part of our planet. This was and still is another one of our main goals: to contribute to the prevention of oil exploration in the Cuyabeno Reserve, because it already took place too close to the protected National Park.
Sustainable tourism and the protection of the rainforest are the values on which Cuyabeno Lodge was founded and is still operating today. Over the past years, the Lodge got constantly revised, renewed, and improved. We want to provide an (adventurous rainforest) home far from home and a lifetime experience never to be forgotten.
