About Us

We explore the last places on Earth and live with its inhabitants

Last Places is the fruit of 25 years of coexistence with the last traditional ethnic groups with their own worldview of the world. Observing, sharing, living, respecting, intuiting and even coming to understand these societies has made us reach the conclusion that their disappearance would be a defeat for all humanity. Last Places defends cultural diversity through responsible tourism and outreach as practical tools to try to preserve it and empower these last peoples.
