This project is based on 4 pillars that explicitly promise a radical change towards a real tourist sustainability.
1. Wild species are visited only in their natural environment, not exposing them to direct contact with humans to avoid the vulnerability and disrespect through the abuse of technology and ‘animal selfie’.
2. The local guides or 'baquianos' are mainly former hunters and former hunters who have decided to release their shotgun to tie a photographic camera and become image hunters in the jungle, promoting thus the respect to the natural environment visited by the tourists.
3. Visits to the indigenous settlements are carried out respecting a tolerable loading capacity and that does not alter the form of life of these small communities. Visitors learn how they live today in Amazonas by carrying out the same activities accompanied by local guides and avoiding cultural exploitation in the region.
4. Regional gastronomy is the main source of economic income for peasants and indigenous people in the Amazon. To achieve touristic sustainability, it is necessary to promote regional products only in the menu offered to tourists who come to visit a place full of biodiversity, where we can find hundreds of species and fruits that allow to provide an authentic experience in this aspect, reducing the environmental impact of each visit and opening new gastronomic fusion markets for responsible eco visitors in search of vegan, vegetarian and regional options.

I did the Extreme Calderón Tour last September with my partner, and it was an experience we will never forget.
The tour involved a lot of walking, but that allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in the jungle and connect with its beauty. Our guides had incredible survival knowledge and made us feel safe at all times.
If you’re looking for a real adventure, I can highly recommend this tour! Plus, our stay at their hostel before and after the trip was a great experience—comfortable and welcoming.
Calderon extreme is a very adventurous experience, but the guides will make you feel as safe as home, no matter the run intos and encounters you may have...snakes, spiders, even jaguar footprints, you will be confident with the amazing tour guides. Food has been a real unique experience, flavors are completely new and delicious.
Traveling in Colombia has been a complete magical adventure. The Amazon was my favorite part of the experience, conecting to such a vast world of biodiversity guided by the most fun and expertise tour guides and friends now, has been just fantastic.
