Today sees the addition of a new ecolodge in Ecuador on the ecobookers site.
Arajuno Jungle Lodge is a private, family owned forest reserve located on the scenic banks of the Arajuno River in the upper reaches of the Amazon basin in eastern Ecuador. The Lodge is adjacent to the Jatun Sacha Biological Field Station. This area is a biological hotspot due to it being in a transition zone between high and low elevation jungle. It is also located in the heart of the Quichua Indian population.
This Jungle Lodge is dedicated to the conservation and protection of the planet through direct action. The owners personally seek to create the best setting for their guests to have a profound and unique experience, to enjoy the spirit of learning, laughing and healing in a pristine environment of the Amazon jungle.

eco-friendly hotel in Ecuador
Today sees the addition of a new eco-friendly hotel in Ecuador to the ecobookers site - Hotel Patio Andaluz.
This hotel is a great addition to the selection of eco-friendly city hotels on the site and is situated in the heart of the Old Historic Centre of Quito, surrounded by churches, museums and national monuments. The building itself is of Republican origin with large arches, balconies and towering attics.
In addition to energy, water and recycling policies the hotel works to keep its local environment clean and maintained and has two foundations to which they donate money, material and clothing, both from the hotel and from any guests who also wish to contribute. They work with community-based security and welfare programs as well as supporting young women with HIV.

eco-lodge in Ecuador
Today sees the addition of a fantastic eco-friendly accommodation on to the ecobookers site - the Black Sheep Inn in Ecuador. It's great to have this property on the site, as they have an innovative approach to eco-friendly tourism and have won a number of awards.
The Black Sheep Inn is an inexpensive hotel, set high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. Perched on a hillside just outside of the rural village of Chugchilán, Cotopaxi, the Black Sheep Inn provides a great base for day hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking and exploring indigenous markets. One of the biggest talking points at the Inn seems to be the ecological composter toilets. All toilets take advantage of a spectacular view across the canyon and inside the rooms are flower/vegetable gardens fertilized with finished compost from the toilet - the finished “humanure” is used to plant trees, bushes or shrubs and is even used in the organic vegetable garden!
