The Huaorani Lodge is unique because it gives travelers the rare opportunity to interact and learn from the Huaorani people. Travelers learn about the typical lifestyle of the Huaorani people, their surrounding environment and the social issues surrounding their land rights.
The profits from the Huaorani Lodge go directly back to funding education initiatives and health care costs for the communities. The Huaorani lodge is sustainably built with a just five comfortable cabins that resemble the architecture style of Huaorani houses. Each cabin uses bio-degradable soaps and electricity that is available 24/7 which is generated from solar panels.
The people from the Huaorani community take turns working at the Huaorani Lodge. They are trained by professional tourism groups in hospitality. From user reviews and my personal experience, the staff were extremely professional, nice and friendly. They were curious to learn and engage with us. Typically, people work about 1-2 weeks/month. The rest of their time is spent living sustainably off the land and maintaining the Huaorani traditions.
