The Ecological Village "Orquids Garden"
project was initiated by farm workers from the "Los Rios
Settlement" through their Organization ACOPROCOR, for the sole purpose of preserving and protecting the
Amazon rain forest over an area covering 350 hectares, extremely rich in
bio-diversity.
Through the ACOPROCOR Organization, the Settlement of "Los Rios" is presently setting-up the Project
"Ecological Village Orquids Garden" to promote community ecotourism within our
Settlement.
We offer lodging in simple cabins made from locally available materials with private bath and shower and surrounded by
gardens
We wish to make of our Community an inspiring model of collective self-management and respectful attitude toward Nature. The
simplicity, cordiality, honesty and sincerity of our people make this Community a pleasant place to
visit.
The Los Rios Community is surrounded by an extensive primary forest where a large variety of
trees, orchids, heliconias, bromeliads and medicinal plants grows. The medicinal plants are in large demand at the national
level; we can mention for instance: dragon's blood (stops bleeding and heals
wounds), curarina (for snake bites), yuquilla (for diabetes), amiruca (for
arthritis), uluco or cancerina (for cancer), and so forth.
