Social and environmental impact
Our conservation strategy in Magdalena Bay, BCS.
Our low-impact camping model
Akampa's camp model is designed to generate significant economic and social impact while minimizing its environmental footprint as much as possible.
We operate on a modular system: we use prefabricated luxury tents that do not require poles or permanent foundations, allowing for a fully reversible installation without causing any structural damage to the ground.
We operate five bathroom modules equipped with low-impact showers and toilets, optimizing water usage and reducing unnecessary infrastructure. Energy consumption is intentionally low: we currently operate using lithium-ion batteries supplemented by a diesel generator, with a clear transition toward a 100% solar system by 2028.
This approach allows for revenue growth without increasing environmental impact, aligning economic profitability with responsible operations that are adaptable to the natural environment.,

Our conservation strategy in Magdalena Bay
Magdalena Bay is one of the most important marine and coastal ecosystems in the eastern Pacific. Its high productivity and biodiversitymakeita key site for natural processes such as migration, reproduction, and feeding for numerous species. At the same time, it faces growing pressures stemming from human activity, poorly managed tourism, and climate change.
Our aspiration is to conserve the Magdalena Bay ecosystem in the long term, maintaining its biodiversity, marine productivity, and key ecological functions through a systemic sustainability approach.
Parthenon for the systemic conservation of Magdalena Bay
This strategy defines the framework under which Akampa contributes to the applied conservation of Magdalena Bay. It does not replace existing scientific, regulatory, or community efforts, but rather seeks to complement them from our sphere of action, demonstrating that well-designed tourism can be part of the solution.
A comprehensive approach
We understand Magdalena Bay as a living system where nature, local communities, and economic activities are deeply connected. Therefore, our strategy is not limited to reducing impacts, but rather to creating conditions for conservation to be viable over time.
At Akampa, we contribute to this system as enablers: we operate immersive experiences in nature that generate local economic value, environmental awareness, and direct support for conservation.

Responsible environmental impact
-
Community economic sustainability
We recognize that conservation is only possible if it generates local value. That is why we work to integrate communities economically through employment, local suppliers, and capacity building for a sustainable tourism economy.

-
Applied conservation
We collaborate with and support initiatives focused on key species and ecological processes, aligning our operations with the natural cycles of the ecosystem.
-
Responsible environmental impact
We continuously measure and reduce the impact of our operations by optimizing resource use, managing waste, setting clear limits on camp capacity, and improving our environmental practices season after season.
Our story is just beginning.
At Akampa we aim to create a more sustainable and humane world. Therefore, every experience we design has the objective of generating awareness about our role in our society, and our planet.
