• The lodge was built at the edge of the Kapawi Lagoon. The houses were built on stilts in order to minimize the impact caused to the surrounding vegetation • Sewage goes through a three-step drainage process and pumped onto the forest floor. The sewage drains into a cesspool and the excess of water runs into a second cesspool and then into the last from which it is pumped onto the forest floor. Yeast is spread on the ground to accelerate decomposition.
• Our canoes are equipped with four-stroke outboard engines, which reduce noise and pollution considerably. Electric outboard motors for small and sensitive rivers are also available. • The entire lodge is powered by a hybrid system of solar energy and a diesel generator . The 75 watts obtained from the solar panel cover 60% of all the lodge energy needs. • Our solar-heated showers provide daily 5 gallons per person of hot water depending on weather conditions.
