Who We Are?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ecoturismo La Yeguada OBC<\/em> is a community-based organization founded in July 2019, specializing in sustainable tourism and authentic experiences in the La Laguna Forest Reserve of La Yeguada. We are made up of people committed to conserving the natural environment and strengthening community bonds in the district of Calobre, Veraguas Province.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a legally established community ecotourism organization operating in this natural reserve, we offer responsible tourism just an hour and a half from the city of Santiago de Veraguas, connecting visitors with the biodiversity and authentic culture of rural Panama.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Origin<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our organization emerged as an innovative response to the negative impact of conventional tourism on the region\u2019s fragile ecosystems. Aware of the importance of protecting Veraguas\u2019 natural and cultural heritage, and recognizing the unique potential our territory offers for sustainable community development, we decided to join forces to create a different proposal.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our model of community ecotourism is based on three essential pillars: profound respect for nature, appreciation of local knowledge, and the active participation of all families in the community in the benefits of responsible tourism.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
