Program Details

📌 Description:

Become part of the development of a sustainable living center in the Peruvian Amazon, located in the jungle of Tarapoto.

This is a personal project that is continuously growing; the vision is to work with nature and not against it: regenerating the forest, growing food that also serves as medicine, producing our own energy, practicing permaculture and syntropic agriculture, and building mainly with natural bioconstruction techniques.

It’s an authentic, simple, and real space. Here you’ll find jungle life, calm, mindful work, and constant learning.
I am currently developing a vegetable garden, a food forest, bioconstruction areas, water systems, trails, and community spaces — all with a vision of self-sufficiency and a deep connection with nature.

✨ People who come here learn:
🍃 Syntropic agriculture
🌿 Practical permaculture
🌱 Soil regeneration and management
🌾 Composting
🛖 Bioconstruction
🪵 Carpentry
🍳 Creative homemade cooking & Peruvian food
🌍 Techniques for simple and sustainable living in the jungle

We also share moments of calm and connection: hikes, bonfires, birdwatching, music, and time with the animals that live here.
Very close to the project, there are waterfalls and natural pools where we often go to swim and enjoy the water.

It’s the perfect environment for those seeking an authentic experience in the Amazon, learning by doing, and living in harmony with the forest.
My space is open to genuine people who want to learn, contribute, and be part of the process of creating a self-sustaining place in the jungle.
