Our first priority in designing The Riverbank was to make you comfortable and give you great value at a great price; you get a LOT more here than you would at a hotel room and for a lower price. Your comfort and the value of your experience come first! Our second priority was to do all of this in accordance with sustainable tourism principles that give back to the community. For instance: • Giving back to the local community. 10% of every rental fee collected is donated to the Hogarcito, the local child rescue centre. Opportunities to visit the Hogarcito and play with the kids are easily arranged and very enjoyable. We can also provide you with assistance should you wish to make your own donations. • Dedicated to reducing impact on environment via recycling, reusing products, and reducing consumption in ways such as purchasing more expensive air conditioners which run on less electricity and have timers so that one doesn't need to run them all day in order to return to a cool place etc. • Supporting local economy by hiring local artists, carpenters, furniture makers and other artisans. • Building to last using local materials; there are no cheap, throwaway goods or furniture at The Riverbank! Instead you will find furniture designed by us and built from local woods by local artisenal craftsmen. • Unique, original paintings crafted by local artists commissioned by us for your enjoyment. • Participating in efforts to preserve local culture by supporting and promoting the local Indian culture. Contact us for details. • Investing ourselves into the project. For instance our two-month project of building hand-made furniture using rare, reclaimed Black Laurel. Staying at The Riverbank is the smart decision for comfortable, convenient and conscientious travel! Come have the best vacation of your life at a great price in complete comfort, knowing that just by being here you are supporting excellent, worthwhile efforts in sustainable tourism too!
