亞馬遜河流域是世界上最大的,覆蓋了大約30%的南美,其廣泛的森林地區附近有著獨特的景觀,這已經成為旅游亮點。
The basin of the Amazon River is the world's largest, covering about 30 percent of South America, and it has nurtured the unique landscape of the extensive forested areas nearby, which have become a tourism highlight. In order to accommodate visitors while maintaining environmental conditions, Peru has opened several eco-friendly hotels deep in the forest.
In the Amazon region located in Peru, visitors looking for an ecologically sensitive resort have an abundance of choices.
Most of the eco-friendly lodges are built with wood, while all water used in the rooms is collected from rainwater and groundwater. Since no electricity is installed in the hotel, nostalgic oil lamps are used for indoor lighting.
After registering in the lodge, staff members introduce the principals of sustainability to tourists.
Hotel manager said, "Staying in this hotel, tourists are offered a chance to come close to the mysterious rainforest. As well, the ecological environment is not disturbed by visitors from the outside world. That's the way we share the rainforest with everyone."
Since rainforest tour packages have been becoming more popular among tourists in recent years, local residents in forested areas in Peru want to ensure that tourists who are not familiar with the practical situation do not unintentionally break the ecological balance. Currently, there are about twenty eco-friendly lodges running in Peru, welcoming tourists from all parts of the world.
