Eco-Tourism & Nature Connection

Connect with Peru's pristine ecosystems through our unique beekeeping experiences in the Sacred Valley, where our French founder Olga's passion for these remarkable creatures opens doorways into nature's most sophisticated society. These gentle encounters with Andean bees offer a magical window into nature's micro world, where thousands of individuals work in perfect harmony to create liquid gold from the nectar of high-altitude flowers.

This is Peru's only authentic beekeeping experience designed for travelers, offering profound connection to both nature's most industrious creatures and ancestral knowledge. Donning protective suits, you'll enter the extraordinary world of our Sacred Valley bee colonies, where ancient Andean cosmic vision guides our approach to beekeeping. Unlike conventional methods, we tend to our bees using traditional wisdom that honors the sacred relationship between humans, nature, and the cosmos—creating harmony that has sustained Andean communities for centuries.

Our practice of conscious beekeeping respects the natural rhythms of bee colonies—our experiences are available only during the active bee season (November through March) when the bees are thriving and Sacred Valley flowers are in full bloom. During cooler months, our busy friends rest undisturbed, ensuring healthy hives and sustainable honey production for years to come.

You'll witness the incredible teamwork of thousands of bees up close, learning about colony dynamics while savoring pure high-altitude honey that captures the essence of each season's wildflowers. The pristine environment of our mountain apiaries produces honey varieties that change throughout the year—delicate wildflower honey in spring, rich eucalyptus honey in summer—each spoonful a liquid representation of Peru's diverse flowering landscapes.

Our specialized Bee Guardian Program for extended stays includes expeditions to Waqrapukara, where we harvest pesticide-free Chachakomo honey (depedning on the season and weather) from passed down hives near this incredible pre-Inka site. This journey requires extensive hiking through pristine mountain ecosystems, with the possibility of overnight stays with mountain guardians who've protected these lands for generations. These experiences connect you to beekeeping traditions that predate European arrival, understanding how indigenous communities integrated bee wisdom into their relationship with Pachamama (Mother Earth).

Beyond our mountain apiaries, discover the Sacred Valley's remarkable ecological diversity through guided nature walks that reveal native plants, essential pollinators, and their traditional uses in Andean culture. Our biodiversity explorations include medicinal plant identification guided by traditional knowledge, understanding of ecological relationships that maintain this delicate environment, and photography opportunities to capture the remarkable beauty of Andean flora and fauna.

Farm-to-table experiences complete the ecological cycle, from sustainable farm practices to delicious Andean cuisine. Visit our partner organic farms where traditional techniques maintain the remarkable agrobiodiversity that has made Peru a global center of crop diversity.

These experiences create direct understanding of how traditional agricultural practices support both healthy ecosystems and vibrant culture. You'll taste flavors that connect you to Peru's agricultural heritage while understanding how small actions—like supporting organic farming and protecting pollinators—contribute to preserving this remarkable landscape for future generations.

Complete your journey by experiencing the full farm-to-table cycle through traditional pachamanca feasts, where vegetables and meats are slow-cooked underground using techniques that predate the Inca. This ancient cooking method, heated with hot stones and sealed with aromatic herbs, creates communal meals that nourish both body and spirit while honoring the earth that provides everything we need for sustenance and joy.
