Column by Ismael Cala: Revealing the secrets of bamboo

Every day more people look for trips that not only allow them to disconnect from routine, but also reconnect with themselves and nature. This is where the concept of purposeful travel is born, a trend that goes beyond conventional tourism, focusing on the search for meaningful and transformative experiences.

For more than five years, I have had the opportunity to lead an extraordinary retreat that encapsulates the essence of these trips: Secrets of Bamboo Costa Rica. This event is not just a meeting, but a deep dive into the wonders of bamboo, a renewable resource that has been used by cultures around the world for millennia, but that today takes on new meaning in the era of sustainability.

The Cala Encuentro Secretos del Bambú was designed not only to share the technical knowledge and sustainable applications of bamboo, but also to explore its deeper meaning. Through workshops, talks and hands-on activities, participants were able to experience first-hand how bamboo is intertwined with philosophy of life, sustainable architecture and art.

But what makes this type of purposeful travel truly special is the community that is formed. People from diverse backgrounds and cultures come together with a common interest in learning, growing and contributing to a more sustainable world. The connections forged in these encounters transcend geographic boundaries and endure over time, creating a global network of individuals committed to positive change.

In conclusion, traveling with purpose is an invitation to explore the world and ourselves in a more conscious and meaningful way. Events like Secretos del Bambú Costa Rica remind us that every trip has the potential to be a door to self-knowledge and transformation. By choosing destinations and experiences that resonate with our values, we can turn every trip into an opportunity to learn, grow, and ultimately contribute to creating a more sustainable and compassionate world.

This year, we will have two groups of travelers to this destination and we still have places on the second date, for more information, visit: https://secretos.ismaelcala.com/

Don’t miss the opportunity to live this experience, which could be one of the last editions of this spectacular destination.

See you in the mountains!
