Why did we open our place?
- Returning back to the land.
How do we alter how the world works, plays, travels, and stay together – for good?
- At Casa Galú our vision is one of continuous evolution and where every aspect of our operation adheres to regenerative practices.
- Through this, we can be an example to the local community on how operating with integrity and respect to our local environment, community members, and tourists can bring positive impact for all.
- In working together, we can be known around the community, the country, and globally for our exemplary and replicable positive impact initiatives.

Beach

Where the lush jungle bathes in the golden beaches of Colombia's Caribbean Sea.
Vía La Coquerita, Sendero Playero, Capurgana, Chocó, Colombia.
What makes our area special?
- We are located on the quiet side of town. Being one of only three homes/hotels on our side of the beach allows for us to offer tranquil seclusion for guests to be fully engulfed by the life in the jungle, all with the background sound of the waves of the sea.
- Just a 10 minute walk to the other side of the beach is the main town where you can find artisan shops, tour operators, restaurants, and nightlife.

Nestled on the slopes of the Sierra Madre Sur, surrounded by waterfalls and tropical forests, this coffee plantation offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience. Alberto and Adriana were phenomenal hosts, making us feel right at home. The glamping tent was beyond our expectations—so comfortable, and we slept wonderfully in the mountain air. The highlight of our stay was learning about the artisanal coffee-making process and tasting their specialty Pluma Coffee, which was so good. I highly recommend Finca Margaritas for anyone seeking a unique, tranquil retreat in Oaxaca!"

Tranquilo Bay Eco Adventure Lodge
Book Your StayInspiring People
We focus on the aspirational side of regenerative tourism.
Inviting travelers to invest in a vacation opens their minds to creating a return on that investment. The return should support both their travel party and the place they are visiting. This mindset helps protect the place and its rich nature, culture, and adventure mix.
Our Origins
- My husband, Jim, and I, Renee, met Jay through one of my husband’s cousins in Houston, Texas over 30 years ago.
- We opened Tranquilo Bay in July 2005 and our lives are much richer than we had hoped for.
Locally-Managed
- We; Renee, Jim and Jay own the lodge.
- We have a variety of staff members to meet your needs at Tranquilo Bay. Our full-time naturalist guides provide you with lots of information about all of the nature and wildlife found within Bocas del Toro.
- We also have our resident dogs, Chola and Max, who do what they can to improve your stay with us.
Sustainably-Operated
- Our approach has been about being a permanent part of the community in which we live.
- We focus on the aspirational side of regenerative tourism.
- We are never finished. We can always learn more and do better once we know more.
- We got to know our neighbors. We applied The Golden Rule (one of our core philosophies) of taking care of your immediate neighborhood to our new home.
- We post regularly about our impact metrics in our Transparency on Thursday series on Instagram and have an Impact Report on our website.

Impactful Planet
We built our place with sustainability mind.
We focus on the aspirational side of regenerative tourism. We are never finished. We can always learn more and do better once we know more.
Involvement in the local community
- We helped the local indigenous community create an over 500-acre municipal reserve that serves as a buffer zone to the marine national park.
- 94% of our employees are residents of our province, Bocas del Toro. 87% of our workforce and 100% of our management team (outside of ownership) come from under-represented groups.
- Volunteer hours and contributions within Panama.
Wildlife
- Our yard bird list is over 230 species, and those we have discovered on our excursions is approaching 600 species. To put it in perspective – more than half the bird species in Panama may be seen with us.
- Zapatilla Cayes – uninhabited turtle nesting beach that is part of the marine national park.
- Western Caribbean Slope – possible to spot over 60% of Panama’s bird species in this part of the country.
- Coral Reefs – many reef formations within the marine national park for snorkeling and scuba diving.

Olaulim Backyards
Book Your Staya cottage retreat surrounded by a blanket of nature, helping you discover the other side of Goa
Inspiring People
We aim to provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere and make guests feel like family
Most of our staff are locals from the nearby village
Independently-Owned
- We, Pirkko and Savio, created Olaulim Backyards from a shared dream. Much traveled, we set about building our beautiful home by the Olaulim River, careful to keep away from the tempting beaches and its ever-increasing tourists. It is a fully family-run business
Encouraging Slow Travel
- We want to inspire our guests to slow down, appreciate nature and be environment friendly
Sustainably-Operated
- Environmental consciousness is practiced in everything we do- from our building design to our daily practices
- We encourage guests to indulge in nature-based activities
Savio and Pirkko
Essential Host
Savio is Goan, he's been working most of his life in the hospitality and travel trade. Pirkko is originally from Finland. They met about twenty-odd years ago in Goa and brought Olaulim Backyards to life out of a shared dream.
Meet Your HostIncredible Place
We built our cottages using local natural or recycled materials.
Sleep
- The guest accommodation consists of five cottages, unique in size and decor, situated in different levels of the foliage in the backyard
- They are very rustic, choosing to make best of locally available elements like bamboo, local stone , coconut wood and palm leaves
- The cottages are all air-cooled, the windows are large thus capturing the through breeze, and enabling you to sleep and reside completely in harmony with nature
- The bathrooms are tropical style, roof partly open to invite sunlight and offering a vista painted by the Goan sky and towering trees
- Each cottage is unique in design and decor, they are away from each other offering privacy
Eat & Drink
- For breakfast, we offer a selection of seasonal fresh fruit, many plucked from our own organic garden, sample freshly baked Goan bread with home made jams and preserves, tuck in to tasty homemade Goan curry dishes and of course we serve freshly brewed coffee and tea
- Breakfast is a leisurely affair, to be savoured in your own time with your hosts and fellow guests. Our onsite Backyard Café, is run by the delightful Nikita, whose tenure as a chef with the Taj Group means you’re guaranteed a varied and yummy menu for lunch and dinner
- Alternatively, if you feel like exploring further afield we are happy to give you recommendations for some of our favourite bars, cafes and restaurants for you to discover
Experiences
The peaceful backwaters and quiet village lanes of Olaulim provide the perfect opportunity to indulge in some gentle outdoor activities right from our backyard. Guests can indulge in:
Canoeing/Kayaking- The manos, the water body in front of our property, offers a splendid chance to try out the in-house inventory of canoes/kayaks and a rowing boat
Cycling- The winding roads in the neighbourhood, leading to the village and beyond, are considerably quiet due to negligible traffic and very conducive to exploratory cycling.
Fishing- Take a local bamboo fishing line and head down to the river to spend some relaxing time. If you are lucky you might even catch a fish
Bird Watching-Have a pair of binoculars and you could turn birdwatcher considering the sheer number of avian species that flock the area.
Nature Walk- You can walk along the interesting small roads around the village and see the beautiful houses enroute or you can venture out to the nature around on narrow paths.
Impactful Planet
We wanted to offer a place that is simple and rustic and close to nature
A peaceful, quiet retreat with only birds, friendly hosts, and their pets – as company.
Cottage Design
- We have built our eco cottages according to our commitment to reduce the impact on environment, with more soul than luxury
- The accommodations are designed using natural and recycle materials and we have implemented passive design techniques to ensure passive cooling
Energy Conservation
- We take actions to conserve water and electricity, compost waste food, recycle wherever possible and use bio-degradable cleaning agents. For hot water, we use solar panels. We have also used reclamation building materials, renewable, natural furnishings, installed eco friendly lighting and as much as possible, try to source organic food locally, offer local employment, instruct staff in green practices and care for wildlife in our area.
Locally-Sourced Ingredients
- Goa is a haven for tropical fruits. In our backyard we grow papaya, banana, chickoo, passion fruit, lime, pomelo, star fruit and cashew. Not to forget the delicious Goan mango in the months of April and May, when also freshly roasted cashewnuts, which have a flavour apart, add to the culinary experience
- It goes without saying that throughout the year, most of the fruits served at the breakfast will be garden fresh.

- We have built our hostel from the ground up to where it is today. We are still, and will always be building. Our creativity inspires our guests to think outside of the box and that anything is possible if you have determination, consistency and patience
- Wild Lubanzi was founded in 2010 and has since evolved into what it is today. It has changed locations in 2016 which also changed the nature of the backpackers at the previous location
- Today, there are two owners with big plans and dreams and two Guest Experience Managers . Wild Lubanzi is a platform for creativity, reflecting and expression and is expanding into a sawmill, spa and wedding venue
Our Staff
- Our Guest Experiences Managers are from up North and have been with us for the past 3 months
- They are excellent hosts and make guests feel welcome and informed
Sustainably-Operated
- Our friendly staff make sure the place is comfortable and clean and will gladly provide the services to guest of washing up, doing laundry or providing delicious meals or mouthwatering Xhosa bread anytime of the day.” We use grey after, plant an immense amount of trees and recycle as much as we can buy using materials in our building projects
- When welcomed, travelers are taken on a tour to show how everything works , where they can save water and how important the environment is to us
- We urge our guests to respect and integrate with our local community and encourage them to venture out and explore the village

- A decade ago my husband & I embarked on this journey of hosting travelers with our first venture- a little homestay in the mountains. Now, we’ve come a long way with Dharti which we built from scratch.
- We are not here to offer an escape from reality, but rather an opportunity to embrace it fully.
- Dharti is a space where you can recalibrate and find your balance amidst the hectic pace of life.

- Lebo’s Soweto Backpackers was founded by Lebo Malepa, a trailblazer and a social entrepreneur.
- Lebo was a visionary who began his entrepreneurial journey by selling local crafts to passing tourists in 1998. Through his interactions and care for local empowerment, Lebo transformed his childhood home into a guesthouse and Lebos Backpackers came to life in 2003. Lebo married Maria, and they grew Lebo’s Soweto into its community-powered status it is today.
- Lebo innovatively started various initiatives, such as their renowned bicycling tours and traditional outdoor meals that encourage local upliftment, education and community empowerment.
- Tragically, Lebo passed away in 2021, and his legacy lives on through his family and community. Lebo and his backpackers won many esteemed awards and had a profound impact in shaping South Africa’s tourism industry. The world has lost a true visionary, and we endeavour to honour and continue his inspirational legacy of community service and connection.
Community Involvement
- Community upliftment is at the core of everything we do at Lebo’s.
- We aim to show people a Soweto that’s different from the one that is often portrayed. We believe that our stories are important and need to be told
Immerse into the Local Culture
- Soweto is full of fascinating history and we aim to deliver it with purpose and authenticity
- Our founder, Lebo, was against the fact that the tourists were shown our community through a window. Lebo felt that people must interact: that people must smell the smell of the township; they must hear the sound of the township. They must learn the [hand] greetings of how we greet here. And they must have a better story to tell.
Incredible Place
Discover our award-winning three-story boombox.
Sleep
We offer:
- 4 and 6-bedroom dormitory
- 6 private rooms, one with an en-suite bathroom
Eat & Drink
The Lebo’s team and the local community have rehabilitated an old dumping site into a well-cared-for green space that is a popular spot for children to play and is home to the Lebo’s Outdoor restaurant.
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in our Outdoor Restaurant in our community park.
- On our menu you find Potjiekos (stew cooked in cast iron pots over fire), curries, salad buffets and the South African favourite – Braai (barbeque).
- We cook in the outdoors over the fire to create an authentic and delicious meal.
- For drinks, the fresh coconuts from the Coco bar are irresistible on a hot day, or grab a cold beer.
- Guests can also enjoy other home cooked meals served by the fire
Amenities
- The communal space is loved by all our guests.
- There are hammocks for kicking back and relaxing on a lazy afternoon, and on weekends there are events held here such as music festivals, markets and concerts.
Experiences
- Some of our guests check-in for a night and then stay with us for weeks, even months, because of the various immersive experiences we offer, including:
- Weekly Burmese language lessons.
- Sunrise yoga.
- Sunrise/Sunset boat trip
- One day trekking
- Every day Saturday Family dinner
- Play local games.
- And more!
Impactful Planet
We have a community-powered mission to empower Soweto and its people
We aim to honour Soweto’s historical significance, people, and local area. As our founder, Lebo said, “It’s everyone’s business”
Community Centric Tourism
- Members of the community contribute to backpackers through cooking at their communal outdoor restaurant, a permaculture garden, storytelling of locals, tailor-making, and laundry services.
- These, in turn, contribute to the economic, social, cultural and environmental growth and development for generations to come.
Our Location
A dynamic tapestry of culture, resilience, and community spirit.

- I bought the land cheaply when I was 21 with little inheritance money. People thought I was crazy as the land was infested with alien vegetation, I had no money, no means to get here, and no idea where I would be in 5-10 years. However, it ended up being one of the best decisions of my life. My parents, who were initially very much against the idea, have since become some of my best supporters, and my mum has provided much-needed financial assistance where needed
- Countless friends have, over the years, offered their various services to help create the thriving space that Wild Fox Hill is today
- I am currently part of an inspired community based in Virginia whose vision is to support people around the world to build communities that allow life to thrive
Locally-Managed
I have 3 wonderful staff, Cindi, Cimpiwe and Jackson who are local people who live maximum 10 kilometres away
I look for people that are hardworking, honest, able to take initiative and that I have a good rapport with

- Guests are encouraged to put their organic waste in separate containers.
- We heat water for guests hot showers and baths through the abundance of local wood – rather than burn the stacks of brush.
- We recycle glass bottles.

Experiences

Impactful Planet
Our mission reads - 'Earth Aligned Practices in place'
We took a decision to be completely off grid, where we rely on the sun to power our home and accommodation and the rain for water.
Supporting Local Ecosystem
- We plant indigenous plants and try and mimic the local ecosystems. We are a founder and leader on ARI (Amatola Regenerative Institute), which focuses on protecting the precious and diverse ecosystems in the area
- We are establishing an Earth Wisdom School that supports children, scholars and people of faith to be inspired and empowered to be a beneficial presence for the earth
- We are setting up a research hub here at Wild Fox Hill where university students can come and contribute to filling in the necessary knowledge gaps to help our community become increasingly socially-ecological resilient
Reducing Carbon Emissions
- We minimise our carbon emissions by being completely off the grid and choosing not to unnecessarily burn our slash but rather use it to heat up the donkey boilers
- We are establishing an Earth Wisdom School where people from all over the world can come and be inspired and empowered to be a beneficial presence for the Earth
Locally-Sourced Ingredients
- Wild Fox Hill is located in a very beautiful, nature filled and quite part of the world that gives people the opportunity to enjoy deep sleeps, rest, reflection and rejuvenation. The drinking water is delicious and healthy and guests can enjoy a selection of herbs, free range eggs and berries in season. We also show guests some of the wild plants they can eat
- We are currently designing a programme that will invite guests on a journey of deeper self reflection and encouragement

- I lived and traveled for 4 years in India, traveling everywhere on my motorbike. I spent most of this trip in North India, in the Himalayas.
- When I came back to my birth country, Morocco, my father found a place deep inside the mountains in North Morocco, a true paradise, and he told me, “Let’s make this place HOME.” We did, and today, we share this place with everyone who wants to leave something different, in pure connection with nature, a place to disconnect and connect back to your true self. It’s an experience for the soul & heart, as a promise between you and the mountains to redefine yourself.

After traveling around the Himalayas on her motorbike for four years, Mey was moved by her experiences on wellness, happiness and eco-systems.

- The A-Frame- The room with a view! Made out of hardwood with an open lake-side wall, the A-frame is one of the original buildings on the farm + has a lot of character. Sit back in the comfy double bed, relax on the private cliffside deck + enjoy the morning sunrise over Lake Malawi
- Vibasa House – Our Vibasa house is composed of almost 100% locally sourced + recycled materials. One of those materials is reed rolls, which means “Vibasa” in the Northern Malawian language Chitumbuka

Impactful Planet
Working together with nature is one of main our goals at the farm.
At Mushroom Farm we do our best to be intentional and thoughtful about our impact on the environment and local community. We are continuously educating ourselves on the improvements we can make.
Permaculture Farm
- We grow our own produce in our permaculture garden that is full of lush vegetables, medicinal plants, and herbs, as well as our natural ponds, fruit orchard, and green house
- Since we purchased the land in 2015, our amazing gardeners [Sutulani, Esaya, Gift, and Lumbani] have been transforming the space into what it is today
- We offer a free permagarden tour 3 times a week, led by the gardeners themselves
- As part of seeking a permaculture lifestyle, the farm also keeps pigs and chickens. Our pigs are given kitchen scraps and leftover food from the restaurant, and in turn, we receive nitrogen-rich manure for our gardens. Our chickens are spoiled and are fed fresh salad twice a da
Renewable Energy
- The Mushroom Farm is powered completely by the sun. We have 9 solar panels and 4 batteries that keep the music playing, the fridge working, the lights shining + the charging stations going
- During the rainy season the beer might not be as freezing old, but we believe thats a small price to pay for clean electricity
Spring Water
- The farm is extremely fortunate to have its own natural spring that supplies us throughout the year with clean drinking water that flows into the designated taps.
- Even though our natural spring supplies us with plenty of water, we also use grey water filter practices to not waste any water
- We have a grease filter connected to our kitchen sink which collects the grease and solid waste, and a similar filter for the shower and laundry area
- The remaining grey water is then filtered through our two sand and reed bed filters. After the water is filtered, it is completely safe to use to water our flower gardens throughout the dry season.

- When I went through a stage of very poor mental health, extended solo traveling helped me to get past those times. I traveled for a year and a half by myself; it was during this time that I fell in love with the hospitality industry. From being a guest, and meeting all of the people along the way that helped me immensely, I wanted to give back and help try to do the same for others, as well as keep my own mental health at the condition it has reached.
- We aim to make sure everyone feels at home and can be who they are.
Locally-Managed and Supported
- We hire locally and try to support the local ecosystem as much as possible

- I was traveling on the coast of Jalisco when I was still living at my parent´s house, and they were away for the weekend, so I decided to invite every traveler I encountered over to my home in Guadalajara, filled up the rooms with cool people and made them breakfast in the morning
- My mom (Ana) and I, with a beautiful team of friends, created the whole concept. Thanks to the amazing support of every one of them and their wonderful ideas, the B&B opened on the exact date as planned, December 31, 2010

- I was traveling on the coast of Jalisco when I was still living at my parent´s house, and they were away for the weekend, so I decided to invite every traveler I encountered over to my home in Guadalajara, filled up the rooms with cool people and made them breakfast in the morning.
- My mom (Ana) and I, with a beautiful team of friends, created the whole concept. Thanks to the amazing support of every one of them and their wonderful ideas, the B&B opened on the exact date as planned, December 31 2010.
Feels like Home
- We try to make the place feel as comforting and homely to our guests as possible.
- I (Maria) make sure to meet and spend time with each guest and recommend places or experiences in the city, if required
El Diablo Products
- We also create our own products, such as homemade jams, our own brand of mezcal, as well as body lotions
- We have a small in-house store where we sell them as well as some other local products

- I (Alexandra) started Casa Pancha with my sister, Franchesca and we are the owners of the property. I have always wanted to open a place to provide great experiences for travellers since I was a little girl. After going on the road for seven months to India and Nepal, and staying in hostels in Europe and Asia, I returned to Mexico and realized that the community spirit and thoughtful design that made hostels in other places feel so alive to me, were severely lacking in my home country of Mexico. Thus, the Casa Pancha project was born. Both of us worked together and opened the hostel in the heart of Mexico City in September 2019, with the goal to bring people together and provide unique experiences for all guests.
Locally-Managed
- We try to hire as locally as possible. We always aim to hire mindfully and it is important for us to click before we hire them.
Sustainably-Operated
- We support local businesses. Everything in our hostel is locally made; everything is made with Mexican hands.
- We try to be as sustainable as possible and encourage guests to do the same. For example, we use little to no plastic in our hostel.
- We’ve also partnered with a local organisation to compost all our food waste and make sure our ingredients are locally sourced too
- Environmental sustainability is a key factor in operations

We are A Passionate comunity working towards a more sustainable Planet
Our lovely staff made up of locals and volunteers are always prepared to give all necessary information for your visit.
Our Origin
- We are an environment conservation organisation based out Darjeeling. We practice Permaculture which teaches us the art of working with Mother Nature.
- We started the organisation in 2016 and our work currently revolves around experiential environment education, regenerative tourism, natural farming, decentralised waste management solutions, and sustainable land and building design consultation.
Local Staff & Volunteers
- We mainly hire locally – a majority of the people working on-site are from in and around the region. We also train local youth in different eco-tourism vocations and trades like homestay, hiking, and guide service to help them earn a livelihood.
- However, we also get a lot of guests who come back as volunteers so there are a lot of volunteers from around India and around the world who stay back to learn more about environmental regeneration.
Promoting Ecotourism
- Over the years we have hosted travelers from all corners of the world and we are humbled by the fact that they have rated us the No. 1 Speciality Lodging in Darjeeling on TripAdvisor.
- We also provide volunteering options where people learn about permaculture while contributing in any one of our projects.

Enchanting, handmade, and natural abodes.
Sleep
- TIEEDI Air Dwelling was conceived as a dwelling floating in the air, projected out amongst the trees and amidst the floating clouds and the fleeting birds. Just like our first natural building, Air Dwelling has also been handcrafted by our local artisans while working with architects, engineers, and volunteers from around the world.
- TIEEDI Earth Dwelling is an abode that is nestled beside a gurgling mountain brook. It is a simple, minimalistic accommodation that provides you a solace in the forest. Perfect for spending some time for contemplation and reconnecting to Mother Nature or spending some quality time with your partner amidst the raw beauty of the forest.
- TIEEDI Forest Dwelling is our shoutout to travelers seeking minimalist accommodation, great conversations, scrumptious organic meals and a cultural exchange in a permaculture forest garden. This accommodation is suitable for single travelers or a group of friends looking to spend some quality time cocooned in the bosom of the forest.
Eat & Drink
- We offer meals made of locally sourced food and vegetables or grown here at TIEEDI. It is made lovingly in our kitchens by our staff and volunteers.
Amenities
- If you’re looking to go on hikes and seek adventures in the mountains or want to indulge in some forest bathing and introspective time, in and around TIEEDI is a great place for some inner and outer explorations.
Experiences
- We organize a TIEEDI forest tour and take you through different parts of the forest: from learning about indigenous species to permaculture principles, regenerative living- it’s an insightful tour.
- Volunteers often organise tours amongst themselves to different parts of Darjeeling. We are more than happy to guide to some amazing local spots and might even join you:)
Impactful Planet
We are a community-led initiative that strongly supports youth engagement.
We are extremely passionate about environmental sustainability- everything we do at TIEEDI is guided by that core value
Working Towards a More Sustainable Planet
- Everything we do at TIEEDI is a step towards a more environment friendly planet.
- In the fight against climate crisis and plastic pollution, we aspire to be the frontline warriors looking to actively provide individual and institutional solutions to most of the problems that we see around us today.
Zero Waste
- We try to follow a zero waste policy in the property. The accomodations are designed to produce no plastic waste
- We also have a zero waste store on-site for guests to learn more
- We constantly organise workshops at TIEEDI and outside to spread awareness about plastic waste and the alternatives
Holistic Farming
- The TIEEDI property is on a regenerated forest that used to be a landfill. We work hard to constantly improve conditions for regeneration while preserving native species
- We follow permaculture principles and grow some of our own food
- The permaculture principles are our guide not just for food farming but for everything we do at TIEEDI- for example, we are constantly experimenting with ways to improve how we manage our resources. We are building low-water wastage toilets; we have animals to balance out food waste to turn into manure, etc
Waste Management Center
- Darjeeling is a hill station which faces a lot of pressure from tourism without having any adequate facilities to manage it. For example, Darjeeling has no waste management centre and most of the waste is dumped into streams or on the side of the road
- Besides spreading awareness about the waste management, we are also working towards building a waste management center to process the high amount of waste the town generates
