A Life Changing Trip To Ecuador

My experience with Regeneration Field Institute is so positive. I've been lucky enough to travel twice there and reconnect with the locals of Chone and Bahia De Caraquez. The location of Chone is truly jaw droppingly beautiful. You are surrounded by miles of stunning wilderness. The sunsets fill the sky with amazing colors each evening as we all eat the delicious meals the cooks prepare us. While touring the expansive farm, we got multiple sightings of howler monkeys and other species of animals you'd never see in the US. There is so much care in the work they do at Los Arboleros Farm. We were surrounded by passionate mentors who were inspiring and so enjoyable to be around. They taught us about solutions to erosion, deforestation, growing healthy soil, and the amazing capabilities of nature. We met a passionate lander conserver called Luis and his friends from a northern region of Ecuador that speak an indigenous language. Learning about other cultures is so important to lower the barrier of ignorance and I believe this experience opened so many eyes to the possibilities beyond where they live in Marin County. This experience brought us together and we continued to make connections when we arrived home too. Many started going to the beach, driving before school to see the sunrise and be in nature. I couldn't recommend this program more, it has filled my life with hope and I have so love for Ecuador. Don't miss this life changing opportunity.
