Hideaways

Does an environmentally friendly resort make you think of pig waste?  Probably not, but the Lapa Rios Eco Lodge uses pig poo bio-gas to power their kitchen.  In addition to that, the resort, which was originally established as a nature reserve, uses energy from solar panels, recycles 80% of its kitchen waste (either composting food scraps or sending them to the pig farm), uses fully renewable construction materials in its buildings, hires local workers, and supports the local community’s school through funding.
