REGENERATIVE TRAVEL IN PERUWe aim to use micro-hospitality to regenerate communities and ecosystems by restoring lands, developing a local bioeconomy, supporting livelihoods, and protecting cultural heritage. Our goal is to become a model Forest Lab, proposing innovative solutions for land and biodiversity conservation through bio-businesses that generate community revenue while preserving the environment. This model is intended for replication in Peru, the Amazon, and beyond. We contribute to the preservation and reforestation of the Amazon with a 3,000-hectare private conservation area, creating a natural wildlife corridor to monitor and preserve biodiversity. Our efforts focus on developing a regenerative, inclusive economic system based on bio-businesses, improving local community well-being by providing better opportunities in harmony with nature. Through our regenerative hospitality approach, we demonstrate a sustainable model of philanthropic-public-private partnership for economic development and ecosystem restoration.
