Learn what SerCOnatural does and why this collaboration is meaningful for both travelers and local residents alike.

SerCOnatural – A Regenerative Network for Sustainability

SerCOnatural (roughly translated as “Association for Regenerative and Sustainable Development in Colombia”) is a non-profit network that originated in southern Colombia. Based in San Agustín (Huila), the organization connects people, communities, and businesses committed to a sustainable future. Its purpose: to promote practices that bring people and nature into harmony. In areas such as culture, art, sustainable tourism, environmental protection, education, and the social economy, SerCOnatural supports projects that improve local quality of life. The underlying vision is to build resilient communities—communities that act consciously and in solidarity and manage their environment regeneratively. In short, SerCOnatural seeks to drive positive change in Colombia by connecting, strengthening, and giving visibility to local initiatives.

Chaska Tours Joins SerCOnatural – An Alliance for the Future

For Chaska Tours, joining SerCOnatural is a logical next step. As a travel agency certified with the TourCert sustainability seal, Chaska Tours has always practiced responsible tourism. Now, close collaboration with SerCOnatural opens up new possibilities: together, the travel industry and the NGO can work even more closely to implement sustainable projects. Chaska Tours shares SerCOnatural’s values of social responsibility and love for nature. By joining forces, the expertise and resources of both sides come together—a benefit for everyone involved. Travelers can be confident that their tours have a positive ripple effect, and local communities benefit from additional support. The message is clear: traveling with Chaska Tours means not only visiting Colombia as a guest, but also giving something back.

Magdalena Music School – A Heartfelt Project in Good Hands

A concrete example of this partnership is the Magdalena Music School in San Agustín. This free music school for children and young people was initiated by Chaska Tours in 2023 to promote cultural participation in rural Huila. In a region with limited access to music education, the school offers a safe space where more than 20 children currently learn instruments, develop creativity, and gain self-confidence. From the first quarter of 2026, SerCOnatural will take over the administrative management of this project. What does that mean? Above all, continuity, professionalism, and transparency: the NGO ensures that the music school remains well organized in the long term and that all support—whether donations, instruments, or facilities—is used efficiently and for charitable purposes. Chaska Tours remains on board as an ideational supporter, while SerCOnatural elevates the music school to the next level with its project management experience. For the children of San Agustín, this means their musical dreams can continue to grow, supported by a strong alliance between tourism and non-profit engagement.

Get Involved – New Members Welcome at SerCOnatural

The sustainable movement thrives on participation. SerCOnatural therefore invites other committed individuals and organizations to become part of the network. Whether as a private individual with a heart for the environment and community or as a responsible company—new members are warmly welcome. The association offers various forms of membership tailored to individuals or institutions. What matters most is the shared vision: turning more conscious projects in Colombia into reality through exchange, workshops, and collaboration. Members of SerCOnatural benefit from a growing network of like-minded people, training opportunities (e.g., in sustainable tourism, regenerative agriculture, or cultural education), and the chance to contribute their own ideas. Those who “vinculate” now—i.e., join—can actively help shape Colombia’s future sustainably. Step by step, a broad alliance emerges in which every contribution counts.
