Awesome experience
What made my trip incredible was the breathtaking nature and fresh air, being able to walk through the jungle, the amazing people I met, and the time I had to disconnect and reconnect with both nature and myself.

I visited Savimbo’s office and headquarter in Villagarzon in December 2024. I got to know the great work they are doing by preserving the nature and balance of the Colombian Amazonian rainforest from an innovative perspective that empowers the native indigenous people living there. This is a truly unique project!

Savimbo's accomplishments in just a couple years are simply amazing! I love following their journey on social media. I don't think I've ever witnessed more dedicated and hard-working staff ANYWHERE.

My experience with Drea from Savimbo was highly disappointing. Despite leading a nonprofit, their approach was marked by hostility and harsh communication, making interactions difficult and unprofessional. Effective leadership, especially in the nonprofit sector, should be rooted in respect and collaboration. Unfortunately, this organization did not reflect those values in my experience.

I have no idea who this person is, and have never worked with them before. Savimbo is not a nonprofit, we're a social enterprise :)

In my perception, Savimbo is creating with their work, a new economical & cultural paradigm to the benefit of the communities of Putumayo Colombia, as well as the benefit of all of us, through the great work of conservation of the jungle! I had the great opportunity to be in the jungle as an attendee and as a host of our retreats with the sacred medicine given by Taita Fernando, Taita Leonidas and Taita Avelino, twice. First time at the beginning of the year, and once again in September of this year! The progress I’ve witnessed in the work Drea and the entire team at Savimbo is doing, is really impressive! The amount of enthusiasm and motivation for their work, the commitment and diligence for the jungle and its conservation, the generosity and kindness with which I’ve been received, it’s so infectious and inspiring! I am forever grateful and looking forward to support as much as possible! I kindly invite you to take a look at the great work Savimbo is doing for our planet & its people, and contribute the best you can!

Drea is the most energetic and dedicated founder I've ever met. Whatever she sets her hands to, you can trust she'll find a way to accomplish.

Aw. Thanks Jonathan! Jhony and Fernando are often behind the scenes, but they're also really awesome!!

For the cost of a price of coffee we could all be contributing to legitimate climate change action that has direct impact. What Drea Burbank and the team have built is not only genius - it's a win/win for EVERYONE involved.
