Knowing the Amazon impacts us not only because of the unique landscapes, but also because of the immersion in the culture of the riverside and northern community in the region. Choosing solidarity tourism allows us to transform and immerse ourselves in the place where we operate, a cultural and social development for the community in favor of a common good. Thus making the activities carried out with and for the community as important as other tourist activities.
We at Amazon Tupana Jungle Lodge support this way of doing tourism: transformative, immersive and with a beneficial cultural and social impact for both the traveler and the community. However, it is important when you are interested in community aid, to inform our team so that we can talk to the community about the needs that are found. That is why your mobilization for family and friends is so important for this experience to take place.
For example, we have already participated in the restoration of the school in Vila do Tupana, in addition to buildings for riverside families in the region, maintaining an organic, intrinsic relationship, not isolated from the community, since we all have the Amazon as a precious asset.
Solidarity tourism is a way of thanking for the experience provided and believing that the assets invested in tourism also belong to the community. In addition, keeping in mind the cultural gain and sensitivity that is generated by exchanging with new people, everyone wins in this wonderful experience.
