Hotels Taking Steps Towards Sustainability in Tarapoa

Jamu Lodge operates with a minimal environmental impact policy within the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve. It utilizes solar panels for energy and employs biodigesters that treat all wastewater using natural enzymes and bacteria. All inorganic waste is removed from the reserve, and organic material is composted. River transportation uses ecological engines, and the lodge uses fresh, local ingredients in its cuisine. It actively supports the FAP Fundacion Amazonia Productiva for local sustainable development projects.

The lodge's mission is to promote ecotourism in an environmentally and culturally safe manner, protecting the delicate jungle habitat and collaborating with local Siona indigenous communities. It was built with minimal environmental impact and implements an efficient waste management system. The lodge uses locally sourced ingredients, supports indigenous communities, and is solar-powered. It offers educational programs on conservation and cultural exchange.
