Built in 1990, The Eco Lodge Hotel was the first lodge built in Latin America using an economic endowment from the World Bank. It was created as a pilot model for Latin America, and its mission was to preserve the environment and develop a true ecotourism program. To do this, among other things, Eco Lodge decided to keep 218 hectares of primary forest as a private reserve, becoming a pioneer in conservation and adventure sports in harmony with the ecosystem.

Eco Lodge is well known for its 13 years of service, as a source of work for the town of Nuevo Arenal, as one of the principal income sources for the Maleku Indians and as a center of environmental education for local and foreign ecotourism. Outstanding services, nice cozy rooms, superb cuisine, bird watching, canopy tour, horseback riding, sport fishing and several other activities from where to choose, create the perfect combination of pleasure and adventure all in a customized package specially designed to fulfill all expectations.
