We are a family of healers of the Earth and of the human being who in 2006 created the Los Yapas Botanical
Park, with the aim of becoming an example of socio-environmental restoration of deforested and polluted
areas of the Ecuadorian Amazon.
From the very beginning, Los Yapas focused on the creation and strengthening of alternative practices in the
social, cultural, economic and environmental spheres based on the conservation of habitats and local
communities as well as the preservation of human health. We believe in the strong intertwinement between
human and the environment and so we look at the recovery of our land and forests through the lens of the
recovery of human health and vice-versa
