Posada Amazonas was built on a 2000 hectare portion of the community that has remained uninhabited since the community´s creation in 1976. Since its foundation, community by-laws had restricted access and use of this reserve, prohibiting hunting, clear-cutting and logging. Therefore this reserve had essentially been used for timber extraction during 20 years. It proved an ideal place where to build the lodge, as it was both the most beautiful standing forest in the community and it allowed tourism to take its course without affecting the daily lives of people in Infierno, which occurred elsewhere.

In second place, any visits of tourists to community members homes or infrastructure are programmed beforehand. In order to visit community infrastructure, two possibilities exist. A contract is signed for recurring visits (such as the Centro Ñape), or an ok is obtained from the CC. In both cases, retribution is negotiated with the CC. In both cases the CC gives the final approval. In both cases, if a second party such as the school board or the Centro Ñape committee are in charge, they also have to agree to the terms. In all cases, visits are overseen by an RFE guide and are hosted by one or more community representatives. In this way we assure that tourists follow an acceptable code of conduct during their visits.

There is also only one visit to community members homes - when we visit the farm. The structure of the contract is similar to that of the Centro Ñape: we obtain agreement from both the CC to contract with the individual, and with the individual.

The question of changes in family life was addressed by the Trueque Amazonico.
