Conservation comes first Settlement design channels building to low sensitivity zones so core habitats remain undisturbed Rivers provide transport and life support and night soundscapes remain free from city noise Participants enjoy privacy nature immersion and a community that shares practical knowledge and field routines
Access is mainly by river or on foot which naturally limits traffic and overuse The setting offers seclusion and safety with planned logistics medical contacts and seasonal transport calendars The result is simple living with strong ties to the forest and respect for wildlife cycles
What you can buy
Plots are titled and mapped with georeferenced boundaries Each plot passes basic checks for registry status protected area overlaps and indigenous land conflicts Buyers receive a document pack with maps boundaries and due diligence notes Living here means low impact design rainwater systems solar energy and strict wastewater control
How the program works
- Site selection favors previously disturbed or low sensitivity areas to protect primary forest
- Clustered settlement footprints reduce trail density and fragmentation
- Rainwater capture filtration and safe storage minimize withdrawals from streams
- Wastewater goes through lined systems and biofilters with safe setbacks from waterways
- Power comes from solar generation and battery storage with quiet operation
- Lighting uses shielded low intensity fixtures to protect nocturnal fauna

Title verification and registry
Ownership is checked in SUNARP to confirm clean title correct boundaries and prior transfers Clear registry records support future transactions and service connections where available
Protected areas and no go zones
Plots must be outside national protected areas managed by SERNANP and outside regional conservation areas Maps and site checks confirm buffers corridors and ecological connectivity before any purchase
Indigenous rights and prior consultation
Land cannot be communal or subject to indigenous collective rights The Ministry of Culture maintains the BDPI database which is reviewed to prevent overlap Where state measures may affect collective rights prior consultation rules apply
Forest cover and land use change
Clearing native forest is not allowed without authorization A change of land use for agriculture or settlement follows SERFOR procedures based on land capability and approved guidelines The program prioritizes zero deforestation plots and active restoration
Water and river use
Surface water intake river works and wells may require permits with the National Water Authority ANA Designs rely on rainwater capture to reduce withdrawals and to protect aquatic habitats
Border zone rule
Foreign ownership is generally allowed with the same conditions as Peruvians Within fifty kilometers of international borders special authorization is required Purchases are screened for this criterion before commitment

Design standards for low impact living
Building and energy
Lightweight raised structures improve ventilation and reduce flood risk Materials prefer local legal sources and modular systems for easy maintenance Solar systems and passive cooling keep noise and emissions low
Water and sanitation
Roof catchment filtration and safe storage form the core supply Blackwater systems are sealed and serviceable Greywater passes through biofilters and is dispersed in vegetated zones at safe distances from streams
Monitoring and community rules
Simple field protocols track wildlife and vegetation No burn policy and zero hunting and zero extraction protect the habitat Restoration and invasive species control are scheduled across seasons with shared duty rotations
