Tales of the Forest
Welcome to Tales of the Forest, the editorial space of Silvery Refugio Natural, where we explore regenerative tourism, biodiversity, and nature-based business models in Colombia.
The Story of Silvery
Two decades ago, my sister and I made a life-defining decision: to invest in a piece of land in San Carlos, Antioquia, a municipality in Colombia we had never visited, where the memories of violence were still fresh. At the invitation of one of our closest friends, we purchased an abandoned cattle ranch and began transforming it, tree by tree, into a forest. Today, Silvery Refugio Natural is a place to rest, learn, and reconnect. It is a project that measures its impact and cares for the territory with rigor.

From Cattle Ranch to Regenerated Forest: What 23,000 Trees Taught Me About Business
Twenty years ago, this place was an abandoned cattle ranch, with degraded pastures and fragile water springs. Today it is a forest with 23,000 trees, more than 110 bird species, and a business model that learned to think in decades rather than quarters.
