Energy: The lodge is powered by solar energy. Sixty-four solar panels of 75 watts each cover 80% of all the lodge's energy needs. Every room has 4 lamps: 1 in the bathroom and 3 in the bedroom. We kindly request you to conserve energy by using no more than three lamps at a time.

Water: The tap water is filtered through charcoal filters and purified with UV rays. Bottles of drinking mineral water are available in your room.Solar showers provide 5 gallons of hot water per person each day. For your convenience we recommend that you take showers at the end of the day.

Rain: Each room is provided with an umbrella that you can use to go to different areas of the lodge.

Night: No artificial illumination exists along the boardwalks since it could modify the behaviour of nocturnal animals. You should carry a flashlight with you.

Swimming: Swimming can be safely done in lakes and calm rivers. Nevertheless, as the water level goes down in the dry season, this activity can is not always available.

Meals: We serve a tasty combination of international food and traditional plants. A wide variety of exotic fruits are also available. Soft drinks, snacks and hot water for coffee and tea are available all day.

Breakfast: Starting at 5.00 a light breakfast is provided to birdwatchers. A full breakfast is available from 7.00 on.

Lunch: Lunch is provided in the dining room from 12:30. Box lunches are provided to visitors taking full-day trips.
