ACTIVITIES

Community and preservation

Kapari Lodge & Spa is a local business that has found in ecotourism a useful tool to help the development of the surrounding communities and their inhabitants, with the creation of new jobs, training and skills development in the field of tourism, customer service and conservation; as well as motivating environmentally friendly initiatives, such as reforestation projects and for the recovery of native fauna and flora.

Our commitment is to work for the preservation of the more than 500 hectares of forest of the Andean Chocó, through various ecological programs that ensure the protection of the ecosystems and biodiversity of this natural wonder, for the enjoyment of current and future generations.
