Madidi Jungle

Get in touch with nature. We are located in of the most biodiverse places in the planet, the Madidi National Park in Bolivia.

Madidi Jungle Ecolodge is an innovative community based ecotourism venture. Four indigenous families from the community of San Jose of Uchupiamonas started the project. San Jose of Uchupiamonas is a Communal Land Territory (TCO Uchupiamonas in Spanish) that spans 210 thousand hectares of forest within the Madidi protected area, in the Amazon area of Bolivia.

This Indigenous Ecotourism venture seeks to strengthen the conservation and protection of the natural and cultural resources of the area. For more than three hundred years our Uchupiamona ancestors have inhabited the Tuichi River Valley, surrounded by its magic and beauty. Our ancestors envisioned the conservation of these resources for current and future generation to enjoy.

Madidi Jungle Ecolodge Facilities

The cabins have been constructed on the banks of the Tuichi River (3 hours by boat from Rurrenabaque). The architecture and design correspond to vernacular style of Amazon cultures and were constructed with materials found in the local forest and that do not harm the environment. We have recovered age-old wisdom from our Uchupiamonas ancestor to provide comfort and safety at our facility. The Ecolodge is designed for the visitor to experience pure contact with nature; at all times during the stay they can feel the magic and charm of nature.

We have a system of trails designed for the discovery of the humid tropical forest. We offer more than 15 km of trails, where the visitor will be able to learn and see the local flora and fauna. This knowledge will be acquired with the company of a local expert in the interpretation of forest.

Lighting at our facilities in fueled by 100% alternative energy using solar panels. For greywater treatment we have designed a system of solid and liquid waste separation based on septic tanks that are renewable in time. Organic waste is buried on location so it converts to natural nutrients, while the inorganic wastes are taken away from the Ecolodge to Rurrenabaque, where compost and recycling is possible.

Our efforts seek to reduce the Ecological Footprint to the maximum; however, without your help this will not be possible.
