Life in the jungle is quite different from life in the city. There are a few things you should keep in mind before arriving at Hacienda Herrera.
Electricity is generated by solar panels, so power may be limited and subject to weather conditions. We strongly ask for your help in conserving energy by avoiding the use of hair dryers and turning off fans when you leave the room. If you require unlimited power for health reasons, please do not hesitate to let us know before your arrival. (Extra cost may be applied)
We offer a daily menu prepared mostly with regional products and from our organic farm. If you have any special dietary requirements, please notify us before your arrival.
Tap water is not drinking water! There is always drinking water available in the main dining room of the lodge. You should bring a reusable water bottle with you and refill it before your excursions.
Although the weather is usually quite warm, a refreshing shower will be just what you need after your excursions. For your comfort we also have hot water in the showers of our deluxe cabins only.
Wi-Fi is only available in the deluxe Bertholletia Excelsa cabins and main dining room (Casa Tamandua).
