We believe our well-being depends on the well-being of nature. That's why we think our activities should not affect the places we visit. Here you will find amazing options to discover and enjoy the Amazon while you help preserving nature and supporting local communities.

We believe tourism is a great option to provide sustainable livelihoods to amazon communities. That's why we support community associations and projects that seek to encourage respect for the territories and provide economic benefits for their people.
We know species are part of a complex and fragile network in their ecosystems. That's why we believe wildlife should remain wild.
We encourage travelers to visit places where they can observe species in their habitat, instead of promoting wildlife traffic by going to places were animals remain captive to be photographed interacting with tourists.
*Wildlife traffic is the third largest illegal market in the world.
