Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

There are a lot of places around the world where the local culture has been left aside by local people and it has been packaged and commercialized for tourism. Curanipe is on that tipping point and day to day we are working to empower the local people by immersing ourselves in their culture, learning from their experiences and doing all we can to communicate the importance of a fossil free economy and how their local techniques of cultivation, house construction, fishing and handcraft is a real benefit to society and the key to being healthy and independent. By staying with us, you will experience this cultural exchange first hand and will learn all about the local cultures, its difficulties and its beauty.
