Río Muchacho
The organic farm and ecological center of Rio Muchacho, located in the valley of the same name on the coast of Ecuador, 40 minutes north of the Ecological City of Bahía de Caráquez and 15 minutes from Canoa Beach, stands as a sanctuary of sustainability and learning. Covering 10 hectares, this unique space offers its visitors a tranquil and authentic environment, away from conventional tourist attractions.
With almost 30 years of history, Rio Muchacho has been internationally recognized as a positive development project, notable for its high-impact achievements in the local environment. The farm is deeply integrated into the local community, serving as a reference in permaculture and sustainable agriculture. It offers a variety of courses and training tailored to diverse participants.
This sustainability oasis is based on the principles of agroecology and permaculture, featuring 10 hectares that host food forests, orchards, pastures, agroforestry areas, alternative energy models, and animal breeding zones. Among its achievements and recognitions are its inclusion in National Geographic Travel’s list of 8 favorite places to stay in Ecuador and being considered one of the 13 most ecological destinations in the world by TV5 Ocean Pacific Canada.
One of the farm’s most significant projects has been the Rio Muchacho Environmental School, Ecuador’s first Community Environmental School. For 23 years, it provided hands-on environmental education to generations of children in the community, offering them new perspectives and skills for the future. Since 2015, the farm’s educational focus shifted to adapt to the changing needs of the community, becoming an extracurricular center that leverages the potential and availability of courses in the community, without the administrative complications of the Ministry of Education.
