Concerned about the disappearance of Cloud Forest jungle and the threat of contamination through large-scale copper mining, we aim to provide sustainable alternative sources of income for locals, by offering first rate eco-tourist experiences for visitors.
These experiences are designed to avoid some of the cliches of eco-tourist travel so we can provide a genuine insight into the natural wonders of Ecuador, while also addressing the urgent environmental issues that confront Latin America, and the planet as a whole.
