Hacienda Tranquila is a sanctuary of sustainability and biodiversity, dedicated to preserving and restoring our unique ecosystem for generations to come. Spanning 121 acres, our land is a mosaic of distinct zones carefully designed to balance agricultural productivity with conservation efforts.
Sustainable Agriculture
Our organic garden thrives with over 30 species of fruits and vegetables, including bananas, oranges, star fruit, coffee, and papayas. These crops support our needs, nourish our visitors, and, during challenging times like the pandemic, provide for the local community. In addition to farming, we protect and restore natural habitats, ensuring agriculture and conservation go hand in hand.
Conservation Efforts
We’ve created reforestation zones, including the endangered Scalesia trees, and regeneration areas where nature is left undisturbed to reclaim previously cultivated land. These areas foster the growth of pioneer species that prepare the soil for diverse plant and tree life, gradually transforming them into thriving natural forests.
Biodiversity and Wildlife
Our land is home to diverse wildlife, including endangered species like the Galapagos Petrel. We dedicate specific areas to protect these birds, alongside zones for cattle, goats, and chickens, ensuring harmonious coexistence of wildlife and farming.
Climate Research
In collaboration with the Galapagos Science Center, we monitor climate change impacts through meteorological stations on our farm. This valuable data guides our efforts in sustainable land management and conservation.
Hacienda Tranquila is more than a farm—it’s a living, breathing ecosystem where agriculture, conservation, and research come together to create a sustainable future.
