The lodges in that area are scattered along the edge of the Tambopata National Reserve and very close to the Tambopata River, in a large expanse of tropical forest that protects a huge variety of plants and wild animals such as mammals, reptiles, birds, insects, among others.

Posada Amazonas works together with the local community of Infierno to promote ecotourism by providing the locals with work in the lodge as well as constant training to generate work,  and part of the profit is used to improve the lifestyle of this community while the lodge uses their forest lands. However, this project is not the only one developed between the community of Infierno and Posada Amazonas Lodge, but it is constantly working to implement other projects that generate more profits from ecotourism.
