Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology

Accommodations are rustic but comfortable, and include private bathrooms equipped with rainwater showers and electricity powered by a generator for limited hours during the day. Housing is available for up to 32 students and 14 scientists or eco-tourists. Guests are housed in either two or four-person bed rooms with linens and general housekeeping services provided. Rooms are equipped with screened windows, though insects are generally not a problem. An open-air dining lodge offers complete meal service daily. Beer, wine, and sodas can be purchased from the bar for an additional charge. Buildings are generously spaced so that you are always just a step away from a network of trials.

Guest housing units include two beds and a private bath with flush toilet and a rainwater shower. Links to the trails are found just outside your door. A sample view of a guest room can be found on the right.
	The station is equipped with a full kitchen and an open-air dining hall that offers three meals a day. Lunches can be made for anyone with a long day in the field and snacks are often available.
The grounds feature a hammock house, providing a comfortable area to relax, catch up on reading, or review research.
	Rainwater is collected throughout the station using a system of roof drains and sisterns. The water is recycled for many uses throughout the camp.
While at TBS, wildlife and a wide network of trails is just a few steps away. The spacing between the buildings allows for a pleasant walk as you travel between facilities.
Due to the isolated location of the station, communication is limited. However, the TBS is in radio contact with Quito offices on a daily basis. there is also a satellite phone (available for US$ 5.00 per minute) that can be used (sparingly) by visitors. Medical assistance is available 24 hours a day through an agreement with the YPF Oil operation.
