Our main commitment is the preservation of the environment
.
.
Muyuna has been constructed with materials from the area, keeping a strict relationship with the environment. Our sewer system goes to a septic tank where our employees perform the necessary sewage treatment to avoid water pollution. Additionally, organic and inorganic waste is separated, using organic waste as fertilizer and compost. The rest of the trash is delivered to Iquitos City, where plastic will go to a recycling center and the rest to a landfill.
Regarding food, we use fresh products from the area, such as fruits, vegetables, and fish. We have a vegetarian and vegan menu, it is necessary to mention that at Muyuna Amazon Lodge we do not kill any kind of animal, especially those that are in danger of extinction, even if some passengers insist. We have our own organic vegetable garden that works when the river level decreases. We also have a flock of free chickens that give us organic eggs, which are free of animal abuse.
Every small action is a big difference
• For camping and full-day activities, we use reusable dishes and glasses.
• Cleaning campaigns in the ports of Iquitos are done periodically during the year.
• Muyuna Lodge employs residents of San Juan de Yanayacu and other nearby communities.
• In the Lodge, we wash dirty clothes by hand using a biodegradable detergent, giving work to women. (We do not use iron).
• Plastic bags are recycled and put in the garbage dumps of the rooms.
• We do not disturb animals, for this reason, we ask you to be careful while taking photos on our tours, as well as those of Iquitos.
