A protected forest

Located in Ecuador, on the edge of the Illinizas Valley in the heart of the Chocó biodiversity hotspot, “El Jardín de los Sueños” is an original sustainable development project that aims to create public awareness about the environment and the respect for nature.

After 13 years of inspiration and diligent work, Christophe Pellet, the founder of Jardin de los Suenos in Cotopaxi Province, Ecuador, has decided to return home to his native France.

We are fortunate to have come to an understanding with Christophe that allows us to assume the responsibility of protecting and conserving the private forest. Many thanks and our deep appreciation to Christophe for his vision, incredible work and continued friendship as we move forward.

Scientists, nature photographers and serious nature tourists interested to benefit from the Jardin’s incredible diversity and depths of flora and fauna are welcome to continue to visit, work and help to educate the public about the importance of protecting nature.

Over time, we can add ideas and activities while we will host and collaborate with Ecuadorian and international scientists, as well as the local community.

We are looking forward to meeting you at the Jardin, and feel free to contact us to discuss your stay at Jardin de los Suenos.

An ideal place

  • A place of well-being that invites to contemplation and connection with nature, ideal for anyone who needs time to rest and reflect, a personal connection.
  • A biodiversity sanctuary for photography and nature lovers.
  • A scientific station for all studies on biodiversity and its ecosystem.

"I have a dream..."

This project was born several years ago from a personal approach, a real desire to live in harmony with nature. It took a journey of year and a half to discover several Latin American countries and meet this place.
