LET'S DO IT!

Cochamo Park is a call to action for conservation.
The idea of a conservation park highlights to visitors the importance of preserving it, especially because it is not a protected area.

Our principles
1
intrinsic value of nature
Nature, living beings and the ecosystems that surround us have a value in themselves, independent of their relationship with the human species.
2
Responsible tourism is a value
Conservation and special interest tourism encourages the creation of strong links between local communities and the protected areas that surround them.
Our focus is on promoting a type of tourism that not only protects the environment, but is also beneficial to local communities.
3
Intergenerationally responsible
We consider that present generations have the duty to preserve and improve the state of nature for the benefit of future generations.
4
Independent
Our work is carried out and financed by our team of volunteers and partners, this allows us to maintain our freedom of action compared to other organizations.
5
Apolitical
We do not adhere to a particular political ideology. Anyone can participate.
