Geotourism - is known as tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place. Revenue from Yachana lodge has raised over two million dollars that has been reinvested in the community. Students from Yachana high school are involved in the lodge's ongoing ecotourism projects. Students employ sustainable ecotourism practices while interacting with international tourists and volunteers.
The lodge and high school are aiming to be as energy and economically self-sufficient as possible. Yachana uses alternative energy systems of solar and hydro electric power. The high school is learning to generate its own revenue through micro enterprises and agricultural practices. These hands-on teaching techniques train local Amazon youth how to be entrepeneurs and generate income in their own communities.
