Our mission is to conserve the environment while providing a unique and comfortable experience in the Cloud Forest.
We understand the importance of reducing our impact on the planet, especially in the livestock sector, where animal agriculture is responsible for 14.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions.
Our immediate goal is to reduce the number of livestock on our reserve from 95 units to just 3 by 2024.
Our goals
We aim to introduce 7 hectares of deforested land to the restoration process every year for 21 hectares.
We know that restoring forests is challenging, so we are working with biologists to analyze several factors while working on the restoration process.
This includes identifying the endemic species, soil degradation, and the impact of introduced species.
We believe that eco-tourism is a great way to support our conservation efforts and provide new sources of income for our team and the local community.
Our lodging operation is designed to be low-impact and provide a unique, cabin-in-the-woods experience.
All units are designed to have minimal impact on the environment while providing a comfortable and unforgettable experience.
