OUR MODEL

CENTERING IMPACT

Technology meets regeneration.

Our journey wouldn’t be possible without the application of IT technologies in hospitality. Thanks to fiber-optic internet and Starlink, we make it possible for remote workers and digital nomads to thrive in the heart of nature—without disconnecting from the world.

But access is just the beginning. Our destinations offer immersive garden-to-table experiences and are designed to preserve local ecosystems. We regenerate the land through composting, clean water systems, and biodiversity corridors—ensuring that food security systems and habitats for other species flourish alongside our guests.

Each space is designed to support calm, focus, and restoration—allowing guests to work with presence, sleep more deeply, and reconnect with joy.


Riverside Ecoliving

OUR HISTORY

AS OUR MODEL

A 8-year journey of experimentation and impact.

Eight years ago, we started planning the launching of the first rural coworking space in nature in the Americas, right in Jericó, Antioquia. Since then, Riverside has become one of Latin America’s most respected tourism startups, rooted in regenerative design and rural resilience.

Today, we offer more than unique stays—we offer the opportunity to become part of a living ecosystem. Through our subscription model, conscious travelers and supporters can cooperate with farmers and rural entrepreneurs, creating steady income streams that empower those who care for the land.

We’re also a proud part of “Both of Us” program and actively seek aligned collaborators looking to expand their brand positioning through partnerships in sustainability, wellness, and impact tourism.

THE END IN

MIND

A world where paradise is a way of life—for everyone.

We imagine a future where anyone—regardless of income, nationality, or background—can access this way of living: peaceful, productive, and grounded in nature.

A world where each journey becomes a healing experience, and travel regenerates ecosystems, mental well-being, and meaningful relationships. Where we leave burnout behind and rediscover joy, creativity, and connection.

That’s why we strive for our impact to inspire our guests to connect and give back—locally and globally.
