The project was created with the aim of improving the socio-economic conditions of the local population through the development of sustainable bio-business activities. The promotion of aguaje fibre, punga fibre and honey produced by stingless bees is a concrete tool for generating income and strengthening the skills of the community.
In order to build solid foundations, assessments of local living conditions and capacities were initially carried out to identify the main gaps and promote appropriate and inclusive commercial development. Among the most significant results, the punga fibre campaign (July–September 2025) enabled the processing of 50 kg of fibre, of which 19 kg was sold, the installation of 10 beehives and the delivery of training activities, generating an average income of more than $50 per participant.
Future phases include advanced training, structured marketing and the definition of health and management indicators, with the aim of ensuring the sustainability, autonomy and replicability of the model over time.
A trip to the Amazon region is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a total immersion in one of the world's most extraordinary natural landscapes. Here, where the forest meets the river and biodiversity reigns supreme, every moment offers the chance to discover a remote and vibrant ecosystem that is still accessible to only a few travellers. Aboard the Pure Amazon, A&K's new riverboat launched in 2025, this adventure is transformed into the most elegant and engaging form imaginable.
Sailing along the Marañón and Ucayali rivers, in the heart of the Amazon basin and close to the source of the Amazon River, guests can choose three-, four- or seven-night itineraries to explore the spectacular Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. This vast protected area, covering over 21,000 square kilometres, reveals scenery of incomparable beauty and an extraordinary wealth of wildlife.
Expert guides and highly knowledgeable naturalists accompany each excursion, offering unique opportunities to spot rare species and enjoy authentic encounters with local communities. The activities, which are flexible and fully customisable, allow you to live each day according to your own pace and interests, whether exploring the forest, when conditions permit, or gliding silently along the waterways.
On board, just 12 suites and cabins with impeccable contemporary design, inspired by the region and enhanced by panoramic windows, offer a haven of comfort and tranquillity with ever-changing views. The dining experience is exceptional: an indoor-outdoor restaurant serves international, Peruvian and Amazonian dishes, highlighting the authentic flavours of the region. With a maximum of only 22 passengers and a staff-to-guest ratio of one to one, every detail is taken care of with impeccable attention, ensuring an intimate, exclusive and deeply memorable journey.
