About Tierravida Benxote
Tierravida Benxote
Mission & Vision
In 2003 i organized my first guided expedition on the amazon river. on this expedition there was the inspiration to buy a 19 hectare peice of land on yarina cocha lake for this mission. We created our first maloka in 2005. The why has always in a large way been because of the sacred ayahuasca religious sacrement. we formed the Ngo Ni Bero in 2007, whose dual mission is rainforest conservation, reforestation and permaculture, as well as awakening the eye of conciousness to see that the earth is alive, ane everything and everyone is connected. Ni Bero is a Shipibo word that means Seed of the Rainforest as well as Eye of the Rainforest. Shipibo are the indeginous people of the ucayali region where we are in heartlands. The shipibo are known for their Ayahuasca Shamanistic lineage.
