SIENDO NATURALEZA
Deep regeneration that starts from within.
Our work began in 2018 with the stewardship of severely degraded land that we now know as Sacha Isla. We built strong relationships with our neighbors and community members, who are mostly migrants from the highlands of Peru. Together, we formed a committee for the wellbeing and conservation of the Tiracu Valley. With the committee’s support we began to facilitate educational experiences for the children of the valley. In 2022 we officially became a formal legal entity: Asociación Siendo Naturaleza.

“Siendo Naturaleza is the perfect place to get out of the classroom and get your hands dirty (literally). The team pushes the boundaries of what it means to live sustainably.”
