Travelers experience slow, conscious tourism rooted in environmental care, local knowledge and deep connection with the surrounding forest.

ABOUT US

Our mission is to care for and share a rural place where nature, silence and sustainability are at the heart of every experience. We manage a restored farmhouse surrounded by forest, offering wellness retreats and nature-based activities that promote slow tourism, environmental awareness and personal well-being. Our project is rooted in respect for the land, energy efficiency and conscious resource use, while supporting the local economy and preserving traditional knowledge. We aim to inspire travelers to reconnect with nature and travel in a more mindful, responsible way.

This Meaningful Travel Map Impact Partner was brought to our attention by Soy Ecoturista. Soy Ecoturista is a non-profit association that groups destinations and companies in Spain offering authentic ecotourism experiences in territories with protected areas. All members of Soy Ecoturista meet a series of environmental and social requirements that guarantee the traveler their contribution to the conservation of biodiversity and to the local development of the areas they visit.

IMPACT

Our impact is embedded in how the project is managed and experienced. From a governance perspective, we operate as a small, owner-managed business that prioritizes long-term environmental and social value over volume-based tourism. Socially, we collaborate with local instructors, guides and producers, support the rural economy, and help preserve traditional knowledge through workshops on wild plants and homemade liqueurs. Environmentally, we actively protect the surrounding forest, limit capacity to reduce pressure on the land, use energy-efficient systems, and promote low-impact activities such as forest bathing and hiking. Through retreats and experiences, we foster environmental awareness, conscious travel and a deeper understanding of the relationship between human well-being and healthy ecosystems.
