Our Story

History

Macaw Lodge opened in 2011 and is the culmination of a long-standing vision of the Gordienko family, who in the 1980s, had the honor of purchasing and becoming managers of Macau Sanctuary Limited, the estate that is now home to Macaw Lodge and Macaw Lodge Private Forest Reserve. Macaw Lodge is part of a government-sponsored Forest Investment Program designed to reverse the damage caused by the overplanting of monotonous agricultural crops. Over the past two decades, the Lodge has developed a model of sustainability, restoring forest health and encouraging a return of many species of animals, plants, insects and birds, including the scarlet macaw.
Before After

The People

Macaw Lodge is a hub for ecotourism, research and conservation, constantly working, growing and evolving, where scientists and professors from many countries come to learn about sustainable practices and put them into action in their own communities.

Similarly, tourists from around the world come to Macaw Lodge to discover its natural wonders. All our visitors are invited to get involved in nurturing and protecting this incredible planet and its little corner of the world. People come for different reasons, but it seems everyone leaves with a deeper sense of joy, fresh inspiration, a renewed passion for nature, and a strong desire to return.

The Community

Macaw Lodge is proud that this project has served to support the local economy of the Delicias de Turrubares area through ecotourism, as artisans, builders. Workers from the area collaborated in the construction of the Lodge facilities and solar energy systems, as well as local farmers helped restore the land and biodiversity.

In addition, Macaw Lodge contributes to the local economy, as food that is not produced on the farm is purchased from local producers.

Another very interesting project to support the community is to receive children from the local school every year, so that they participate in the planting of a tree and also learn about nature conservation, to ignite in them the passion, leave them the legacy that in the future they continue with the work.
