This amazing retreat has been carefully constructed using local materials, traditional techniques, solar energy, treatment of all waste water and resulting in minimal ecological impact. Madidi National Park was established in 1995 in the Northwestern section of Bolivia.

The Chalalan Lake and Ecolodge is located in an area that was shaped by ancient geological and glacial processes that render spectacular views today.
