Amazon Lake
Aktie:
Selva Blue - Lodge Los Lagos - Amazonia Lakes
Amazon Lake projects include zealously protecting our 100 square km (24710 acres) so that the fauna may find refuge and protection from hunting here, as we have done thus far, keeping our core centres undisturbed maintaining their incredible fauna unwary of humans and prevent our unavoidable footprint, becoming an Ecological Resort and minimising our consumption of fossil fuels by shifting to renewable power sources when possible, educating our local staff and our tourists as well as influencing our community to become more ecologically sensitive.
Our end goal is to become a sanctuary to all the fauna, to become a conservation and research center, with Reintroduction Programs of endangered species.
There is still a long road ahead of us but we are certain that with passionate and dedicated effort we will achieve our goals.
The natural reserve
Amazon Lake – A wildlife Santurary
( Some parts are taken from Amazonas Lakes)
This region comprehend a number of Amazon Lakes, located in the Amazon basin, is the only resort in the Amazon, with an extension that surpasses 100 square kilometers (24710 acres) of private protected area. Our protected ecoregions include Amazon tropical forest, Amazonian neotropical Savannas, Floodplains and Grasslands, Lowlands, and Wetlands (marshes, swamps, lakes and streams). Although we are not an official Reserve, we are working towards becoming one. We are deeply committed to the conservation of the wonderful Flora and Fauna of this part of the Amazon. Through Tourism we expect to preserve these amazing lands and to support our Wildlife Conservation Projects. Each Amazon lake offers a sanctuary to the fauna and flora of the region.
Wire fencing of our Property
With our last effort of wire fencing our property we have successfully been able to almost completely stop illegal hunting inside our property. Controlling and enforcing our regulations has become easier. We are happy to observe that more animals roam our lands, finding refuge and seem to feel safe.
Moxos Culure
This destination is surrounded by some 300 lakes, each one connected by artificial canals to keep the level of the water.
These ponds and canals were made thousands of years ago and these are some of the evidences of the great archaeological culture of Moxos that began in the area about some 4000 years before Christ.
The plain Moxos also includes a large Eco-system of natural grasslands, wetlands, birds, aquarium fish, terrestrial aquatic mammals like freshwater dolphins and Giant River Otters

Our Core Centers – Selva Blue Lodge Los Lagos
Impenetrable Swamps and areas of virgin Jungle are part of our highly protected areas within the Resort, kept undisturbed as core centers, in order to preserve them. Our goal is to safeguard them with no interference whatsoever from humans and by keeping these areas inaccessible we can ensure that no illegal hunting or logging takes place. Dither Cuellar is our lead Ranger; he is in charge of the protection of the wildlife as well as enforcing our regulations and he is our guide extraordinaire. At the moment he is our only Ranger.
Amazon Lake La Raya (Stingray Pond)
This small pond, with the shape of a stingray, is fed by a bifurcation of the Black Stream that flows south to north and discharges its waters in the Blessed Lake (Laguna Dichosa). It is also part of our Core Centers.
The Amazon Lake Lagunas Tojas (The Twin Ponds)
These ponds are surrounded by swamps and in some parts covered by aquatic plants, which is why they are practically inaccessible. These ponds are part of our private protected areas.
Amazon Lake Lago Largo´s Delta: Our Delta
The Delta, with an extension of approximately 10 kilometers, is one of our strategic spots for sport fishing (Catch and Release) of Peacock Bass (Chicla Pleiozona). However only 20% is used for this purpose and the remaining 80% is under protection, since the nesting places of these amazing fish are found here, as well as at the Lacustrine Islets. These islets are in addition a small paradise of the lacustrine biodiversity.
Growing our own Produce
Our objective is to become almost entirely self-sufficient, which is why our Menu is based on produce that we can grow. This way we can minimize our fossil fuel consumption. Our current production includes all the fruits used in our Menu, herbs and some types of vegetables, as well manioc and plantain.
