About the Community

What we do

Ecovillage and Indigenous Chocolate Haven Calling all nature lovers, conservation enthusiasts, and chocolate connoisseurs! Ekobius is a unique intentional community nestled within the Guiana Shield, a biodiversity hotspot bordering sovereign Piaroa territory. Imagine waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys and scarlet macaws, surrounded by lush forests teeming with diverse life. Here, sustainability and cultural immersion go hand-in-hand. Ecovillage Life & Indigenous Collaboration: Live amongst Indigenous food forests, a vibrant testament to our commitment to sustainable agriculture. Our community prioritizes harmony with the environment, employing solar and hydroelectric power whenever possible. We collaborate closely with the Piaroa people, fostering mutual respect and cultural exchange. Become Part of the Legacy: Invest in the “First Indigenous Ecovillage,” a cooperative venture dedicated to empowering local communities and preserving traditional knowledge. Ekobius is also home to the groundbreaking Ekobius Project, a research center dedicated to studying Theobroma cacao and crafting the world’s most exquisite Indigenous Chocolate. Membership Options: Ekobius offers two membership levels catering to different needs: Communal Membership: Enjoy flexible visitation rights, shared accommodations, and a 1% stake in cooperative income. Equitable Membership: Build your dream home (300-750 sq. ft.) on a dedicated plot you can own and potentially resell. Embrace a Sustainable Future: Ekobius is more than just a community; it’s a movement. Join us in creating a model for sustainable living and honoring the rich heritage of the Guiana Shield.
