Building a Sustainable Outdoor Bathroom Cabin from Bamboo
At Hacienda Guadua Bamboo, sustainability is more than a buzzword; it’s a way of life. One of our latest projects—a bamboo outdoor bathroom cabin—exemplifies how bamboo can transform everyday needs into eco-friendly, functional, and beautiful solutions. This innovative project, featuring a composting toilet, is a game-changer for rural farms without access to running water. Through a step-by-step photo gallery, we want to inspire others to rethink waste management and showcase the potential of bamboo as a building material.

I always dreamed about owning a farm in South America since the moment I started Guadua Bamboo back in 2007. But life often trows you in many different directions and it finally took me 14 years to accomplish that dream. In hindsight, though, the timing couldn’t be better.
