Who we are
Nantu Foundation
We are a non-governmental, non-profit organization passionate about the protection, dissemination and research of Ecuador’s cultural and natural heritage.
We invite those who travel in Ecuador to have fun and visit impressive sites with us, while at the same time supporting and collaborating in the maintenance of the local heritage.
How do we do it?
- We design and lead experiences that help national or foreign visitors to connect with the local culture in a more personal way, the visitor leaves aside the position of spectator to become an actor in this new environment.
- We lead projects that are financed by donations, private funds and by the profits that your visits leave us. When you decide to visit Ecuador and live an experience with Nantu you are also supporting these cultural or environmental protection projects.
