Hi, I am Riki

I am committed to help accelerate the Awakening through Knowledge and Community action

Author & Travel host to unique places

Part of my work is to restore travel as a practice of respect and reciprocity. These are the projects through which I invite people to journey with purpose.

Excursions
I guide small groups through sacred territories in Ecuador, northern Peru, and Colombia’s Sierra Nevada—connecting travelers with community-led initiatives that regenerate land and culture.

Travel Guide
A curated guide to rural Ecuador’s hidden gems: Indigenous territories, conservation areas, and community-run projects where hospitality meets stewardship.

Travel Consultation
I help farms, and grassroots tourism initiatives attract the right visitors by aligning their story with authentic values and digital visibility.

Travel doesn’t have to extract—it can restore. For both those who journey and those who welcome.

Community Action to make a difference

These are the community-based projects I actively participate in, with neighbors, elders, and youth building regenerative alternatives together.

Vilcabamba Bioregion
Co-creating an autonomous bioregion in southern Ecuador based on agroecology, renewable energy, water sovereignty, community health, and regenerative economies.

Agua Ayni
Restoring the water cycle through ancestral and modern water retention techniques—reviving soils, supporting reforestation, and building resilience against droughts and fires.

Finca Sagrada Association
An NGO rooted in Vilcabamba that supports neighbors in regenerative farming, hosts Earth-honoring ceremonies, and strengthens local self-reliance through collective action.

When communities govern their own resources with wisdom and care, they become living models of a viable future.

Information for the awakening

These are my editorial projects and media that challenge dominant narratives and offer perspectives grounded in ancestral wisdom and critical thinking.

Andes Punik (Substack)
Short, sharp reflections on politics, ecology, and consciousness in the Andes and beyond—through the lens of Indigenous cosmologies and human freedom.

Maya, the Shaman and the Infinite Mind
A Spanish-language road novel weaving scientific spirituality, ancestral sites, and existential dialogue across the sacred landscapes of the U.S. South. (English version in progress.)

Perennial Philosophy 5.0
A video series exploring timeless questions through contemporary Andean realities—currently in Spanish. Accessible globally through AI dubbing.

Truth isn’t found in headlines—it’s uncovered when we question dominant narratives and reconnect with deeper ways of knowing.

My favorite interview

Guild of Life TV interviewed me in mid-2025. I’ve placed it on this homepage because it captures the essence of my work more clearly than anything I’ve written myself.
