This local ecotourism venture with low environmental impact was created in 2011 by a eight local guides group from the San Jose de Uchupiamonas indigenous community, who work to preserve and protect the region’s wildlife, and promote their communities’ economic and social development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As its name suggests, the ecolodge is located in the heart of the Madidi National Park, in the San Jose de Uchupiamonas Communal Land of Origin (TCO), a three-and-a-half-hour boat ride up the Beni and Tuichi rivers. from Rurrenabaque (Beni department). A privileged environment, surrounded by vegetation and unique fauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, the community members offer an authentic and unforgettable experience. All the staff are of indigenous origin, which guarantees a cultural experience and a fair and respectful treatment for the people who provide their services and are the ecolodge suppliers.<\/p>
