Who are we?
Machine translationSee the original
La Manigua Lodge is a small nature lodge located on the banks of the Guayabero River, in the heart of the jungle of La Macarena, Colombia. We offer lodging immersed in the forest and private tours to Caño Cristales and other places in the Sierra de La Macarena national park, always accompanied by local guides and providers.
Our main distinguishing feature is the combination of nature, comfort, conservation and community work. All our tours are private, which makes it possible to adapt the routes to the pace and interests of each traveler and to have exclusive transport and guide during the activities.
Our model is directly connected to the community of La Macarena. Instead of operating with our own providers, we work with the local associations of guides, boatmen and transport providers, which organize the distribution of work among their members. This system allows our tourism operation to generate benefits for more than 200 families in the municipality.
Sustainability is also part of our daily operation. The lodge runs on solar energy, uses biodegradable products, has wastewater treatment, composting and waste separation, avoids single-use plastics and uses recycled plastic lumber on its trails. In addition, we carry out environmental education, forest restoration and wildlife conservation projects together with organizations and inhabitants of the region.
