There are very few places in the world, which can offer visitors the unforgettable experience of life in a tropical forest. Chalalán is one of these places. This ecological lodge located near the Chalalán Lake in the heart of Bolivia's Madidi National Park, is the result of the dream of a local community: San José de Uchupiamonas. Its purpose is to welcome visitors from all over the world so they can learn about the importance of the region and its protection for future generations. This video sparkles with the flavor of Chalalán and the life of the Madidi National Park. Through the eyes of the Community of San José de Uchupiamonas, we will have the opportunity to discover the meaning of this initiative, while exploring a labyrinth of forest trails that surround the lodge. More than just an introduction for visitors, "The Story of a Dream" is a tale of hope. "For us, the people of San José de Uchupiamonas, the story of Chalalán is the story of our commitment to nature. This way we can offer economical alternatives to our youth and protect our forest from destruction."
