Tuqtuquilal | Centro Regenerativo

Tuqtuquilal Regenerative Center is a mountain that hosts the project born in 2017 in the tropical rainforest of Lanquin, Guatemala. Our goal is to promote a sustainable natural, social, and economic environment by working together with the Q'eqchi' Maya community, which has historically protected its ancestral territory.

Our concept of regeneration is based on the principle of understanding the wisdom that the land offers us so that we can repair the natural, economic, and social fabric that is embedded in the territory where Tuqtuquilal is located. Tuqtuquilal (tuuk-tuuk-iyl-lahl) is a word with origins in the Q'eqchi' Maya language that translates best into English as 'harmony' or 'natural flow.'

Our aim is to regenerate the land, promote sustainable community development, and entrepreneurship through ecotourism, artisanal production, organic agriculture, and education. Within our facilities, we craft a variety of products using raw materials (such as cacao, turmeric, ginger, cardamom, etc) with a network of farming families that make up the "Ratzum Cacao Network," which was created as part of the community organization process driven by the project.
