OUR MODEL
CENTERING IMPACT
Technology meets regeneration
Our journey is possible thanks to technology that brings reliable connectivity into remote places. With fiber-optic internet and Starlink, digital nomads and remote workers can thrive in nature without losing touch with the world.
But connectivity is only the start. Each Riverside destination is powered by small, conscious entrepreneurs who are building solutions to many of today’s biggest challenges. Through regenerative practices like composting, clean water systems, and biodiversity protection, they restore ecosystems while creating opportunities for their communities.
By choosing Riverside, travelers support a network of local changemakers. Together we prove that remote work, environmental care, and community growth can go hand in hand.

OUR STORY
AS A MODEL
An 8-year journey of experimentation and impact
Eight years ago, we began shaping the vision of the first rural coworking space in nature in the Americas, launched in Jericó, Antioquia. Since then, Riverside has grown into one of Latin America’s most respected tourism startups, rooted in regenerative design and rural resilience.
Today, Riverside offers more than unique stays. We connect travelers to a living ecosystem where bookings support farmers and rural entrepreneurs, creating steady income streams for those who care for the land.
We are also part of the Both of Us program and welcome collaborators who want to expand their brand positioning through partnerships in sustainability, wellness, and impact tourism.
OUR LOCAL
FOOTPRINT
Impact with numbers and with purpose
We believe real impact must be rooted in real people and measurable outcomes. Riverside’s work focuses on strengthening rural economies, Indigenous networks, and sustainable food systems—while ensuring every traveler’s experience is regenerative for both nature and community.
🌱 16 rural entrepreneurs supported through co-created tourism
🧕🏽 12 Indigenous families and organizations actively engaged
🚜 5 farms integrated into our sourcing and food security systems
🧑💻 1,000+ digital nomads welcomed into our community
🧠 Many guests report improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and renewed clarity
This is how impact tourism grows—not just in size, but in shared purpose.
THE END IN
MIND
A world where paradise is a way of life for everyone
We imagine a future where anyone, regardless of income, nationality, or background, can access a way of living that is peaceful, productive, and grounded in nature.
In this future, every journey is a healing experience. Travel regenerates ecosystems, strengthens mental well-being, and nurtures meaningful relationships. Burnout gives way to joy, creativity, and connection.
So far, we have co-created with 16 local entrepreneurs and welcomed more than 1,000 digital nomads into our extended family. Riverside is more than a positive impact startup. It is a growing ecosystem of people, places, and purpose.
Our impact is meant to inspire every guest to connect and give back, both locally and globally.
