About The Mariri Jungle Lodge Community

The Mariri community, based around the Mariri Jungle Lodge in Alto Paraíso, Brazil, is a diverse group of individuals from around the world who share a deep love and respect for nature. The community was carefully founded by Marianne, a zoologist and conservationist, in 2011 with a vision to preserve the pristine land of the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park using eco-friendly and sustainable practices. The Lodge serves as a space for hosting various retreats, artistic residencies, and environmental projects, all centered around the principles of permaculture. The team at Mariri consists of talented professionals committed to caring for the healing space and promoting a more sustainable future for the region.

Located approximately 13 km from Alto Paraíso, the Mariri community boasts facilities that integrate people with nature, including treehouses, practice decks, a natural pool, agroforestry, and more. The team, comprised of individuals with a passion for nature, creativity, and life, is dedicated to fostering a harmonious relationship with the environment and supporting projects aimed at conservation and sustainability. Mariri’s founder, Marianne Soisalo, is actively involved in environmental activism and initiatives to raise awareness about issues such as forest fires that threaten the region. With a deep connection to the Brazilian Savannah (Cerrado) and a commitment to responsible stewardship of resources, the Mariri community embodies values of love, respect, and reciprocity towards the natural world.
