JUNGLE EXPEDITIONS
TAPIR CABINS
Cuyabeno Fauna Reserve
Tapir Lodge is based in the northeastern Province of Sucumbíos, in the upper Ecuadorian Amazon region, within the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, and was built in partnership with family members of the Siona Community. In order to meet appropriate ecological standards, Tapir Lodge shares with them the Eco-tourism activities and profits, offering as well the best facilities in the heart of the jungle.
Our philosophy of disturbing the rain forest the least possible, lead to the implementation of our bio- digester. This simple device (a big plastic “sausage”) located in the back of the tower) enables us to transform feces and black waters, into methane gas and “Biol” ( a processed organic material), which is pumped back in to the forest and used as fertilizer.
The electricity provided by solar panels is used to recharge batteries, and with an Inverter we produce 110-115 V AC, which is used for charging any type of electronic equipment so as for the illumination of the Lodge.
No hair driers or electric shavers are allowed, beside that, you are in the rain forest, a wild look (for a while) will really match with the surroundings!.
The rooms are really fresh, (all the windows are covered with nets) so there is no need for a/c or ventilators. All rooms have private bathroom, hot water shower, electricity (110 V.AB type outlets and plugs).
In every bathroom there is a blue water-container with purified water, (brought from Lago Agrio) perfectly safe for drinking and brushing your teeth.
All the facilities and corridors are illuminated, but we kindly ask you to always to take good care of this resource, and whenever you feel you do not need illumination, please turn the lights off. Flashlights are essential to illuminate certain blind spots, and of course they are ideal for night walks and caiman watching.
Please keep in mind that you are going to a remote place and all the supplies as well as the luggage have to be transported by canoe. Therefore bring just enough clothes for the number of days you are staying.
We have the following programs:
· 4 days Tapir Lodge (Departures every day of the week with a minimum of 3 passengers)
· 5 days Tapir Lodge (Departures every day of the week with a minimum of 3 passengers)
· 7 days Tapir Lodge (Departures every day of the week with a minimum of 3 passengers)
Departures can also be planned for individual passengers at different times during the year.
