ecolodge
Sustainable wilderness accommodation
An ecolodge is a tourist accommodation designed to minimize environmental impact, typically located in natural settings like rainforests or wildlife reserves.
Ecolodges emphasize sustainability through practices like solar power, rainwater collection, and locally sourced materials.
They often support conservation efforts and connect guests with local ecosystems: We stayed at an ecolodge in Costa Rica that bordered a cloud forest.
