Sustainability at Wild Mandari

Responsible Travel in the Heart of Yasuni

At Wild Mandari, sustainability isn’t an add-on — it’s the foundation of everything we do. Located deep within Yasuní National Park, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, we are committed to protecting the rainforest while offering meaningful and responsible travel experiences.

Our operations are designed to minimize environmental impact, support local communities, and invite guests to reconnect with nature in a conscious and respectful way.

Limited Electricity,
Purposeful Disconnect

We operate on limited electricity, available from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM daily. This window provides enough time for:

  1. Charging essential electronics

  2. Using lights during the evening

  3. Enjoying a quiet, comfortable dinner experience

Beyond this, we encourage guests to unplug and immerse themselves in the natural rhythms of the jungle — the sounds of frogs, monkeys, and birds replacing the distractions of digital noise.

Local Ingredients, less Refrigeration

Our meals are thoughtfully prepared with fresh, local ingredients that do not require refrigeration, reducing energy usage and food waste. We source most of our food from:

  1. Kichwa community farms

  2. Local rivers and forest products

  3. Small producers in Coca

This supports the local economy, ensures freshness, and reduces emissions from transportation and cold storage.

Dry Toilets and Water Conservation

Wild Mandari uses a combination of dry toilets and water-efficient flush toilets in our shared facilities. This significantly reduces water usage — a vital resource even in the rainforest.

 

We believe every drop counts, especially in a region so vital to the planet’s climate and biodiversity.

Conscious Laundry Practices

We do not wash linens or towels on site. Instead, all bed sheets, towels, and restaurant linens are transported back to Coca for professional, water-efficient cleaning. This reduces our impact on the forest and avoids contaminating local waterways.

We also encourage guests to reuse towels and linens during their stay to save water and energy.

Smarter Transport, Lower Emissions

To reduce fuel consumption and environmental impact, we operate scheduled days transfers and tour departures. This helps us:

  1. Lower the use of motorized canoes

  2. Decrease gas emissions on the river

  3. Make our logistics more efficient and eco-friendly

We invite guests to plan ahead and travel on those days, to further reduce our carbon footprint.

A Deeper Kind of Luxury

At Wild Mandari, sustainability is not about sacrifice — it’s about intentional living, minimal impact, and maximum connection.

You’ll sleep in comfortable, elevated tents, eat fresh, local meals, and explore the jungle with Indigenous Kichwa guides who are deeply rooted in the land.
