Twelve Hands, One Purpose
The morning arrived crisp at the Antisana Condor Observatory, on the road to Antisana Volcano. Twelve volunteers gathered with a shared motivation: to restore life to the páramo.
Laguna de Secas, a silent witness of centuries, watched as these hands prepared to plant 250 native trees and shrubs.
Divided into two groups, the work began with contagious energy, spontaneous laughter, and jokes that lightened the effort of each hole dug in the moist earth.
Roots That Promise a Greener Tomorrow
Polylepis, mortiños, alders, and other páramo species found their new home during this journey. Each plant represents more than an act of restoration: it is a promise of balance, a commitment to future generations.
The volunteers worked with precision and care, aware that each root planted strengthens the ecosystem that sustains life at these heights.
The páramo, fragile yet resilient, gratefully received these seeds of hope.
The Flight That Blessed the Land
Near the end of the day, the sky gifted an unforgettable moment. The condors, ancestral guardians of Antisana, soared over the area in majestic flight.
It was as if nature itself acknowledged the collective effort, blessing the work accomplished with its presence.
The day closed with a visit to Antisana National Park and a comforting lunch at Tambo Cóndor, where the day's stories were shared amid smiles of satisfaction.
Gratitude and a Call to Action
From the foundation, we deeply thank each volunteer who gave their time and energy, Belcorp for its commitment to conservation, the Antisana Condor Observatory for opening its doors, and our team for making this experience possible.
The harmonious coexistence between humans and nature is built through actions like this.
We invite you to join our upcoming events: together we will continue planting the future.
