The Project

Cordillera Escalera mountain range: in Peru’s rainforest

Only 45 minutes away from the city of Tarapoto, San Martín Region, Bosque Guardián’s located in the Tiraco river valley, in an Amazonian cloud forest that is permanently recovering from cattle farming, tree cutting, and other human destructions.

Bosque de Protección

Forest inventories, wildlife monitoring and expeditions; reforestation, agroforestry and botanical gardening with native species. We promote our explorations and love for the forest through publications that represent this area’s extreme biodiversity.
Bosques de Papel

Workshops, residencies and projects for the development of natural papers and crafts, as well as art and scientific research oriented toward the use of plant fibers and recycling techniques: free and sustainable creation through paper.

The forest’s regeneration started in 2005, when the Cordillera Escalera regional conservation area was created. Its 150,000 hectares protect the ancestral territories of the Shawi, Awajun, and Kichwa cultures, along with its bountiful landscapes, plants, and animal wildlife: a great ecosystem undergoing recovery.

The area protected by Bosque Guardián preserves nature and promotes its exploration through the strengthening of local economies: scientific research, bird-watching and the observation of other animals; art and other fascinating activities that provide insight on this part of the Amazon.
