Dear guest, you are within the National Wildlife Refuge Maquenque, where conservation and protection of our natural resources is a pillar for sustainable development of our community of Boca Tapada, at this small town we give a warm welcome and invite you to join our efforts following these recommendations for your trip:

• Add an extra tree to our refuge, participating in our reforestation project.
• Use only the water you need; you can take short showers and close the faucet while brushing and shaving.
• If your towels and sheets are clean, request they are not changed.
• Turn off the lights and fan when not in the room and unplug appliances when not in use.
• Take advantage of natural lighting and ventilation whenever possible.
• Use the trash cans outside the restaurant to separate waste properly, in the room the maid will do the separation process.
• Discard the paper and hygiene products in the trash can only because our drainage systems are not designed to process these wastes.
• Do not dispose of chemicals or drugs products in drainage systems, as these affect the biological control system of our drains.
• Help us protect, report any situation of sexual exploitation or harassment detected.
