Why is this Festival Important?
This event is not just a celebration: it is an open classroom where people learn, share and build awareness about the protection of our ecosystems. With more than 5,000 visitors each weekend, the festival takes advantage of this massive scenario to bring conservation to diverse audiences, in a creative and close way.
Condor and Bear: Life in Danger
The condor and the Andean bear, The majestic symbols of our identity are in danger of disappearing, but we still have time to change their destiny. Culture and education are our best allies in protecting them. The Andes Mountains are not only our home: they are the refuge of thousands of unique species that depend on their forests and moorlands to survive. By caring for the condor and the bear, we also protect the smallest and most fragile inhabitants of these ecosystems.
