Sustainability

Hotel Senda Monteverde is a member of the Cayuga Collection of Sustainable Luxury Hotels, promoting environmental awareness efforts and sustainability programs. Guests can appreciate the lack of single-use plastics, biodegradable products, solar-heated water and onsite wastewater purification systems that benefit the gardens of over 5,500 native plants. Staff members are all locals, and they volunteer in forest clean up efforts and are involved in environmental education. These efforts and more have lead to National Geographic naming the Cayuga group as Earth Changers in the World Legacy Awards.
