Science and eco-tourism merge at Caiman House Field Station, an outpost of research and hospitality located in the remote Amerindian village of Yupukari on the savannah lands along the banks of the Rupununi River. Visitors also have the opportunity to interact with the locals including the furniture craftsmen at Wabbini, a nonprofit venture to create sustainable jobs and revenue for the village.

A popular night time excursion allows guests to observe, or become involved with the caiman research project which involves the capturing and assisting in data collection. This requires the caiman being weighed, measured and tagged before being released back into the wild. The lodge also supports the conservation and research of the Yellow-spotted Amazon River Turtle.

Accommodation is in simple but large, comfortable rooms with ensuite bathrooms. There is a lovely sitting room inside and open deck perfect for enjoying afternoon drinks at sunset and breezy veranda slung with hammocks. Profits from the lodge support a public library, computers and internet for the village school and community.
