Welcome to AFELA i Ú. In our native Maleku Jaica language, this means «The Home of the Great Green Macaw.»

We are a natural, social, and educational sanctuary where the traditions and customs of the Maleku people are preserved and practiced.

An ethical tourism opportunity uniting education, conservation, and Indigenous Maleku culture. We are a sustainable and self-sufficient space that watches over the well-being of our community, its inhabitants, and its legacy. We invite you to explore our world, where nature and humanity become one.

Our Mission in Action

Indigenous Culture & Education

Immerse yourself in the living legacy of the Maleku people. We offer authentic workshops on our ancient Jaica language, traditional art, folklore, and the use of natural utensils.

Conservation & Biodiversity

We are guardians of a vital ecosystem, home to the Great Green Macaw and over 120 bird species. Our work focuses on protecting this biodiversity hotspot for future generations.

Permaculture & Sustainability

Through projects in agroforestry, bio-construction, and organic farming, we are building a self-sufficient community that lives in harmony with nature.
