Description
Our project promotes conservation through environmental education, sustainable tourism, citizen science, and hands-on experiences in nature. We work with children, travelers, and local communities to create awareness, learning opportunities, and a deeper connection with the environment.
We organize different nature-based tours and experiences for visitors, as well as outdoor educational activities, workshops, nature walks, and creative learning experiences using the forest and the farm as educational spaces.
Our vision is to become an environmental education and community learning center in our municipality, encouraging conservation, scientific curiosity, sustainable living, and meaningful contact with nature.
The property has around 8.5 hectares of forest and farm areas, including trails, organic production spaces, resting areas with hammocks, viewpoints, and small recreational spaces built with recycled materials. We also operate a small ecological hostel where visitors and volunteers can experience community life surrounded by nature.
It is constantly growing through collaboration, creativity, and the support of volunteers who share our values of sustainability, learning, community, and respect for the environment
