A Stay with a Purpose
Ekobius welcomes inquiries from students, naturalists, independent travelers and supporters interested in a longer encounter with the forest. The model combines honorary Huottuja Association membership with modest daily camping costs. Visits are arranged in advance; dates and facilities require written confirmation.
Membership and Camping
The current model is US$1,000 per person for honorary Huottuja Association membership, plus US$10 per person per day for camping on the premises. Investor membership is included in the proposed investment arrangement. Membership supports the organization; it does not buy community consent or unrestricted access to territory.
What to Budget Separately
Transport, meals, guides, interpreters, excursions, research costs, equipment and any special services are arranged and priced separately. Confirm the camping setup, water, sanitation, power, food arrangements and communications before committing funds or travel. Accommodation beyond camping is not promised on this site.
What a Stay Could Include
Subject to availability and community agreement, a stay may include guided forest observation, cacao and forest-fruit learning, participation in nursery work or time devoted to an approved study. Cultural visits require a separate invitation. Wildlife sightings, ceremonies and access to particular people are never guaranteed.
Arrange the Visit
Send your preferred dates, group size, interests, language needs and camping equipment requirements. We will discuss feasibility and provide written terms, included services, payment instructions and cancellation conditions before confirming. A membership payment alone is not a confirmed reservation.
