The Cloud Forest
Sustainability & responsibility
A lodge built to protect what makes this place extraordinary.
The purpose of Safari Lodge was not to conquer the forest.
It was made to coexist peacefully with it.
For many generations, a local family owned our land and kept it safe. The lodge still stands on the same property today, surrounded by tropical plantations, wildlife, native forest, and waterfalls.
One of Ecuador’s most biodiverse areas, the Cloud Forest of La Esperanza, is something we are dedicated to protecting.
Eco-Friendly Waste Treatment
We are accountable for all of our resources. Anaerobic systems and biodigesters are used to process all of the lodge's waste, filtering water and separating solids before it is properly released back into the environment. This guarantees: Rivers and waterfalls are completely uncontaminated. No effect on the ecosystem of the forest
A Self-Sustaining Forest Sanctuary
We use our sugar cane and banana plantations, and native forest, to build a haven for local wildlife, including armadillos, parrots, guatusas, and more animals on the area.
Technology That Respects the Environment:
- Without erecting towers or changing the landscape, Starlink satellite internet provides service throughout the property.
- Despite its remote location, Safari Lodge is well-connected.
- We didn't have to alter the forest to remain online.
Solar Energy support Safari Lodge
- 40% of energy used here comes from solar energy
- All of outside ilumination comes from solar energy
- "Our lodge has a fully solar-powered security system that minimizes its impact on the environment while providing constant protection."
