We design our tours, when at all possible, to stay at lodges which are run by conservation organizations such as: Manu Birding Lodge & Hummingbird Lodge(the most effective bird conservation group in Peru) or hotels which have substantial tracks of preserving forest and demonstrate a clear environmental mission. In these lodges the proceeds go directly to conservation.
