  • Description

    Description

    The ecolodge is founded and run by Martin and his family, who live on-site and are actively involved in daily operations, welcoming guests and volunteers as part of their extended family while sharing their deep connection to the Amazon.

    Ecolodges currently employs a small team of locally paid staff from nearby Amazonian communities. Our team includes local guides who lead jungle walks and river excursions, kitchen staff responsible for preparing traditional meals using local ingredients, housekeeping staff who maintain the cabins and common areas, and boat operators who ensure safe transportation on the river.
