Cayuga Collection | Co-Owners, Hans & Andrea: Authentic Sustainability, What Makes a Nat Geo Unique Lodge, and True Friendship in Central America

Andrea Bonilla and Hans Fister are the co-owners of Cayuga Collection in Central America. Cayuga is a collection of 7 independently owned luxury boutiques in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama. The company employs over 450 local staff and protects 1,500 acres of rainforest. Though each property has its own unique soul - what ties them all together is Hans and Andrea's commitment to people, service, and sustainability. They've managed to create a unique culture where you can experience both luxury and authenticity, creature-comforts and sustainability. We discuss what makes up the heart and soul of these gorgeous properties, what it takes to become a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World, and a few behind the scenes details too.
