The Guardian, UK, Sept 2006: "Managed entirely by the indigenous Quechua-Tacana community, Chalalán is buried in the vast swathe of the wildlife-rich Madidi national park. Knowledgeable guides and themed nature trails encourage you to learn about wildlife behaviour and the medicinal qualities of the plants. The low-impact, wood and palm cabins are simple and rustic, but perfectly comfortable. Wash away the day's expedition, then soak up the sunset over Lake Chalalán from a hammock outside your cabin. Traditional dishes are served in a central dining hall (with a flourish of handcrafted table decorations) and include dunucuavy - catfish cooked in leaves, washed down with a drop of Bolivian red."
