An eco-lodge is a type of accommodation designed to minimize its environmental impact while providing a comfortable stay for guests. These lodges often use sustainable materials, renewable energy sources, and eco-friendly practices to reduce waste and conserve resources. They are typically located in natural settings, such as forests, mountains, or near bodies of water, allowing guests to connect with nature. Many eco-lodges also promote local culture and biodiversity by supporting nearby communities and wildlife conservation efforts. Guests can enjoy activities like hiking, birdwatching, and exploring local ecosystems, all while contributing to sustainable tourism and the protection of the environment.
