Providing Access with Intention
Fundación Llancalil exists to inspire current and future generations to protect, steward and care for the vital natural resources of our planet. Through the facilitation of scientific studies, artistic endeavors, educational and experiential workshops, we encourage a deeper understanding of human and planetary interdependence. We invite those who wish to experience the vibrant beauty and resilience of Llancalil to do so in the spirit of ecological mutualism- in a manner that is beneficial to the health and wellbeing of all species.
“All powers have two sides, the power to create and the power to destroy. We must recognize them both, but invest our gifts on the side of creation.”
Collaboration through Science
We believe in the power that data gathering and science-based assessments have to build bridges of understanding about human and environmental relationship across industries, economies and societies.
“There are more life forms in a handful of forest soil than there are people on the planet.”
~Peter Wohlleben, The Secret Life of Trees
We wish to support the efforts of scientists and educators around the world as they work to gather information that contributes to the human understanding of our relationship with the planet.
Llancalil offers a unique opportunity for a variety of science-based research studies to take place.

Collaboration Through Art
We believe in the power of art to move hearts and minds. Science and data can be a powerful tool for strategic decision-making, but it is poetry, paintings, photography ignite a fire within the heart of a leader.
“If anything could save the world, I’d put my money on beauty.”
~ Douglas R. Tompkins
We welcome individuals from all across the world to come experience Llancalil from an “artist’s perspective”. The land provides a space of solitude and solace, where the natural environment continuously beckons your undivided attention.
If you are inspired to come co-create with this majestic landscape, contact us and we can discuss your proposed project.
Group Collaboration & Workshops
We are stewards of this place, and as such we are responsible for ensuring that all who have access to it arrive with a clear intention that is aligned with the mission of Fundación Llancalil. With this in mind, we also intend to open access for small-scale groups, workshops and learning experiences. We are working toward the installation of basic infrastructure that will allow Llancalil to serve as an inspiration for small groups engaged through experiential learning, workshops and projects that are focused on the environment, cultivating connection with nature as well as land and species restoration.
