At Hotel Fuente de Piedra I, we view the environment as the relationship between human beings and their natural and cultural surroundings. It is everything around us: where we walk, what we see, what we breathe, where we live, and where we work.
Our sustainability goals focus on respecting and benefiting local people and the environment. We provide tourists with the chance to learn about the lives of the people who live near Yacuma Ecolodge, our partner. We make regular donations to the community, especially to efforts related to women's reproductive health. We also donate uniforms, hygiene kits, and school supplies to local children.
$51 – $75
Per room, with taxes and executive breakfast included.
