The eco lodge is owned by the community of Infierno and co-managed for 40% of the profit. All of the lodges employment is hired from the community, except for three of the lodges 18 positions. There are five guides that are either guiding full time, or combine guiding with training.
Community members receive over $75,000 a year between wages, hired services and both goods such as handicrafts and food produce. The community receives about $45,000 annual profit from lodge related activities. This figure will increase as lodge reinvestment decreases.
We won both the Conservation International Ecotourism Excellence Award and Conde Nast Traveller Magazine Ecotourism award in 2000 and were nominated as one of the 10 top ecolodges in the world by Outside Magazine issue of March 2003.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
