Nayara Resorts is dedicated to the noble cause of reforestation. Nayara Tented Camp occupies a hillside that was entirely deforested more than 50 years ago to make way for a cattle pasture. In collaboration with reforestation expert Matthew Flynn of VIDA, Nayara has undertaken an extensive effort to rejuvenate the rainforest that once thrived in the area. Through the planting of 40,000 indigenous trees and an extension of the sloth sanctuary from its sister property Nayara Springs, wildlife is gradually reclaiming the hillside, with birds and monkeys now calling it home. (Monkeys, in particular, require a “corridor” of trees to navigate the rainforest.)
