Our
History
The dream of Huasquila was born without knowing it 30 years ago, when the property was purchased to be a cattle farm. 19 years ago, in 2004, the first cabin was built for touristic use, and it was not until December 2005 that we welcomed the first group of guests.
Inspired by a dream, the reserve began to reforest its pastures, and with the help of volunteers from all over the world managed to successfully reforest 110 hectares of forest, which added to the existing 60 hectares make up what is now the reserve.
OUR
Commitment
Thanks to the successful regeneration of our forest, we enjoy wildlife like monkeys or armadillos visiting, who find refuge in our locality. Motivated by this result, we remain committed to contributing to the regeneration of the Amazon.
We have expanded our work to environmental education for children, collaborations with the surrounding communities and working hand in hand with several institutions to expand our contribution on issues such as the carbon footprint or releasing wildlife.
Our Mission
Improve our environment through the implementation of an environmental regeneration model and ecotourism in our reserve
Our Vision
Huasquila aims to become the leading model for environmental regeneration in the Amazon. It works to replicate its experience on a big scale and having a real impact on our planet. To achieve this, we work hard on different local projects with economic, environmental and social impact that benefit our enviroment.
PROJECTS
We are always working on new environmental regeneration projects. We started reforestation 15 years ago and recently released wildlife into our reserve. We seek to be a model that inspires others to replicate our efforts on a large scale.
Huasquila Amazon Lodge is a company dedicated to sustainable tourism and environmental conservation in the Ecuadorian Amazon. With the aim of protecting the forest and biodiversity of the region, the company has carried out a conservation and reforestation program for the last 15 years. Thanks to this program, the rainforest has been regenerated and today is home to a large amount of wildlife, including endangered species.
Huasquila’s commitment to conservation is not limited to reforestation and forest protection. The company has also expanded its work to environmental education for children, working with surrounding communities and collaborating with institutions to expand its contribution on issues such as wildlife release and carbon footprint.
Huasquila’s mission is to improve its environment by implementing a model of environmental regeneration and ecotourism in its reserve. With the aim of becoming the benchmark model of environmental regeneration in the Amazon, the company works to support and promote sustainable local initiatives that have an economic, environmental and social benefit that contribute to their environment.
Huasquila is not satisfied with what it has already achieved and always has new projects to contribute to its environment. In addition to reforestation and the release of wildlife, the
company works with local communities in conservation regions and income generation with its medicinal plant project.
