Diego Samper: Calanoa is a natural reserve located on the banks of the Amazon River, 60 km west of the Colombian town of Leticia, beside the Amacayacu Natural Park and several indigenous communities of the Tikuna people. The Calanoa project is an initiative by Marlene and Diego Samper that aims to contribute to the conservation of biological and cultural diversity in the Amazon region by providing a setting for scientific research, communication and education, aesthetic research, innovative design and architecture, as well as sustainable tourism. It is a permanent forum for art, design and science, through residencies, workshops, encounters and international meetings.
