Waste from the resort is treated first through a natural pond system which has plants that break down the material and clean the water significantly, there is no odour released from this at all. The water is then sent to an on site small filtration system to make sure that the water is fully cleaned before going back out into the lake no unessacary chemicals are added or chemicals that would harm any of the wildlife in the lake
Some of the native animals in this area are capybaras and giant anteaters, along with over 1000 different bird species of which 48 are only found in Venezuela
