NI'TUN ECOLODGE
San Andres, Peten
 Ni’tun
Ecolodge is the perfect environment for meditation,
relaxation and learning about nature... It’s a
great spot for any healthy activity before we begin
an expedition, as well as to rest and get charged with
positive energy before going back home...
Ni’tun
Ecolodge offers four luxurious double or triple cabins,
all with private bathroom, hot and cold water and a
beautiful terrace with a view of Lake Peten Itzá...
All of the construction are renewable resources, generously
provided by the Earth... Our cabin’s guano palm
thatched roofs, sand, rock and wood are in tune with
nature blending completely into the forest all around
them...
The
sounds of water... the songs of birds... and the choirs
of nature by night give you an intimate sense of communion
with yourself and the world around you. Our international
bar and cuisine specialize in vegetarian food. A variety
of music and books may be leisurely enjoyed while hanging
in a hammock in Ni’tun Ecolodge’s cozy social
area...
Experience
the wonders of the beautiful flora that have survived
up until our twenty-first century modern world... Discover
the beauty of Lake Peten Itzá and enjoy the songs
of birds every morning... Time is frozen here in Mesoamerica
and it is just waiting for you to become a part of it
all.
Located
in San Andrés, Ni’tun is an ecological
lodge, hotel, posada, or however you want to refer it.
It is also a home... Home to our forest and to all the
animals that live in it...
Among
them: porcupines, opossums, cotuzas, coatimundis, grey
fox, iguanas and lizards, squirrels, etc.; it is also
home to many insects like chicharras (cicadas), butterflies,
mantis, beetles, fireflies; to the increasingly varied
bird population like black and white, yellow, magnolia
and blackburnian warbler... purple honeycreeper and
ovenbird; brewer’s blackbird; starlings; hermit
thrush; great kiskadee; flycatchers; woodpeckers and
woodcreepers; masked tityra...
...neotropical
cormorant and anhinga; egrets; great-tailed grackle;
jacamars; trogons; kingfishers; pauraques, poorwills
and nigthawks, burrowing and great horned owls; red-tailed
hawk and different kinds of falcons; plain chachalaca;
brown jay; grooved-billed Ani; keel-billed toucan and
collared araçari; blue-crowned motmot and many
different kinds of hummingbirds like the wedge-tailed
sabrewing, white-bellied emerald, Anna’s, the
ruby-throated, green-breasted mango, Alexandri, faun-breasted
and rufous-tailed...
All
of these great creatures along with all the other living
species of Lake Peten Itzá (like Petenia splendida
or blanco fish, turtles, and snails) are very important
to us. We provide feeders and water reservoirs for them,
we try to keep their habitat untouched; we take their
future very seriously and that is why we keep on working
in a viable forest management that will enable us to
help them survive through the hazards of the XXI Century.
All of these friends greet you in this little respite
from the fast pace of life.
At
the moment, Ni’tun is undergoing legal steps towards
becoming one of the first few private reserves in Peten,
Guatemala with a 15.27 acres (6.18 hectares) of extension.
We urge you to take steps in your cities, communities,
and workplaces towards reasonable and sustainable development
so that we can all live in harmony preventing the disappearance
of wonderful habitats.
