What is the Chaka-Runa EcoVillage?

As part of our vision of life in nature with infinite self-growth and development, it is with great joy and excitement that we share with you that the building of the Chaka-Runa EcoVillage has officially begun. 
 

 

The EcoVillage is located 3 hours from the Tarapoto airport, on sacred land with 9 waterfalls and 3 creeks, rich in biodiversity, with countless species of wildlife and plants and fertile soils. This piece of paradise offers a dream lifestyle in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon.

The complete project will feature a Healing Center, Shamanic School, Human Renaissance, and a Psychedelics Research Center. Activities in the EcoVillage include dietas and retreats, workshops, conferences, lectures, seminars, internships, pilgrimages, social gatherings and events, medicine music, students activities, and volunteer activities.

The development of the EcoVillage is based on eco-friendly and sustainable building systems, with minimal impact on the ecosystem. Labor will be sourced locally from the Lejía community. 

Our vision is a cooperative community where our worldwide family can visit or reside in an eco-friendly environment, in balance with Pachamama and in union with like minded humans walking their inner spiritual path.

We embrace the Andean concept of Ainy (reciprocity) and the 3 Human Powers: The Wisdom (Yachay), The Love (Munay), and The Action (Ruway). We are committed to carrying this project on the values of Love, Reciprocity, Respect, Humility, Honesty, Courage, Loyalty, Sharing, and Compassion.
