Responsible Travel Policy:

Oxígeno Amazonas

At Oxígeno Amazonas, our operation is not a static tourism product; it is a living commitment to

the territory we inhabit. We believe in Radical Privacy and Author’s Amazon (Amazonas de

Autor), where transparency about our impact is the foundation of the trust we build with our travelers.

1. Environmental Responsibility & Bioconstruction

Our Base Project: Art and Earth

We are currently executing the construction of our operational base: a small-scale boutique

lodge designed entirely under bioconstruction principles using mud, clay, and natural fibers.

● Amazonian Art Gallery: This space will serve as more than just a place to rest; it will be

a window for promoting local art, integrating the region's material culture into the guest

experience.

● Carbon Footprint & Energy Transition: While we acknowledge our current reliance on

fossil fuels for river transport, we have a clear mission: transitioning to electric outboard

motors. Our medium-term goal is to achieve energy autonomy (100% sustainable).

● Waste Management: We implement strict plastic reduction policies and conscious

waste management in Puerto Nariño, protecting the purity of our vital water sources.

2. Economic & Social Responsibility

Real Local Impact

We are not an external agency; we are Karla and Darwis, operating directly from the Amazon.

● Direct Local Hiring: 100% of our guiding, transport, and supply services are managed

with our neighbors from the Tikuna, Cocama, and Yagua communities.

● Fair Wages: We pay rates above the local market average, honoring ancestral

knowledge and service quality, ensuring the benefits of tourism remain within the

community.

● Cultural Respect: Our experiences avoid the "folklorization" of indigenous cultures. We

promote genuine encounters based on mutual respect and the dignity of original

peoples.

3. Commitment to Transparency

Our "No-rush Amazon" philosophy extends to our management. We are radically honest with

our travelers: we are in a stage of conscious growth and construction. We prefer the authentic

imperfection of a project in development over the polished aesthetic of a soul-less corporate operation.
