    Commitment to our people

    All for them

    At La Selva Ecolodge and Retreat, we are committed to responsible tourism that enriches the lives of local communities and protects the rainforest.Through initiatives like Mandi Forest and Mandi Wasi, we create employment, support cultural preservation, and enhance community well-being.

    We collaborate with passionate individuals and provide resources such as motor canoes and school supplies, supporting education and health matters. In partnership with UNICEF, we also combat malnutrition in the region. Our community-based tourism projects foster a harmonious relationship between visitors and locals, promoting a sustainable and prosperous future for all.

    With you every step of the way

    WE CREATE OPPORTUNITIES

    At La Selva Ecolodge and Retreat, community-led initiatives like the Mandi Forest and Mandi Wasi Projects empower local residents by providing employment and fostering economic growth.

    The Mandi Forest Project, led by young men, protects and offers guided tours of the Mandi Cocha lake, while the women-led Mandi Wasi Project creates handicrafts and cultural experiences. These projects not only boost the local economy but also promote cultural preservation and community empowerment.

    With 80% of our staff being locals, La Selva supports local employment through various roles and training opportunities, enhancing the community’s economic stability and future prospects.

    EMPOWERING PILCHI COMMUNITY

    At La Selva Ecolodge and Retreat, we are committed to supporting the Pilche community. As one of our initiatives, it’s heartening to see local children heading to school without proper footwear, which prompted us to take action.

    We have donated 75 pairs of resistant rubber boots to ensure that children can travel to school comfortably and safely, in any weather. Our goal is to continue to provide this assistance on a regular and strategic basis. Additionally, we have equipped the local school with two computers and a printer to enhance academic growth.

    By introducing advanced technology, we aim to close educational gaps and open up new opportunities for students. One of our core beliefs is to invest in a better future for our communities. Together, let us contribute to the path of knowledge and innovation for a prosperous community.

    With you every step of the way

    A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR CHILDREN

    We have worked hard to support children’s health and education in the Amazon region of Ecuador and beyond. The lodge has teamed up with UNICEF to fight chronic childhood malnutrition in areas like Sucumbíos and Chimborazo.

    La Selva helps by providing resources and promoting UNICEF’s work. This partnership aims to make a big difference in tackling this serious health issue in Ecuador. La Selva also supports the Pack for a Purpose initiative, which encourages travelers to bring school supplies and other materials to help local communities.

    By doing this, La Selva improves access to education and helps create a brighter future for children in the Amazon. Through these efforts, La Selva shows a strong commitment to supporting the health and education of children, making a real impact on their lives.
