Kapievi

Puerto Maldonado, Madre de Dios,

Peru

(Amazon Rainforest)

Kapievi Amazonía is a family based eco-village in the Peruvian Amazon. We believe in the communion of people and earth, and we try to live in harmony with all living things, giving back to the earth as much as possible.

We try to adapt permaculture concepts to the design of our home, and to live our beliefs day by day.

The heart of Kapievi is the Maloca, our center to connect to the center, a small temple open for yoga, meditation, different courses... and love.

Kapievi is living outdoors, but working inside... Kapievi is eating amazingly tasty vegetarian food, harvested with our own hands, Kapievi is meeting near the fire with brothers and sisters... Kapievi is about sharing, learning, is art, love and growth.

We love having guests and of course, volunteers to share our dreams with.

Location: Carretera Tambopata Km 1.5 Puerto Maldonado, PERU
