Sites of Touristic Importance
Leaving the Ark
At Ecolodge El Arca, we have organized the tourist offer in three segments so that the motivation to choose us as your tourist destination is fulfilled just as you dreamed it
We have designed three stay offers that can complement each other, taking into account the season of visiting the Ark. We want it to be diverse and versatile.
The most important thing is that you can also share with the receiving local community, indigenous and Afro-descendant people who share the same territory and are happy to serve those who visit them.
With the following three segments, your stay at El Arca can become an unforgettable experience.
