As seasoned travelers, we dream of Costa Rica and Belize when we hear of ecotourism. We find ourselves pleasantly surprised when someone points out that a domestic form of ecotourism exists almost right in our own backyard. The lodges below do not require three hour prior check-in and a passport. Rest assured, however, that all our ecolodges will make you feel at home while you are away. They provide you with comfortable lodging, good food, and a natural experience. And, our staff is trained and dedicated to get you there - affordable, hassle free, and relaxed. So, when you get back, you will be enthralled, inspired, and ready for more. Maybe next time you will try one of our international destinations. Manaca identifies ecotourism as "protecting and conserving the environment, educating the traveler, and supporting local communities, through the practice of low impact, responsible travel, for future generations to come. Sounds like one tall order—yes, but we are ready for it.
