World's First Certified Quiet Park - Zabalo River

World's First Certified Quiet Park - Zabalo River:  Ecuador is a nest of biodiversity and the Zabalo River Park is the first in the world to appreciate and protect silence.

You are about to embark on an unforgettable journey through nature and discover the first silent park on the planet which is previously unknown. Following the delicate sound of the water in the Zabalo River, right in the middle of Ecuador's Wilderness Quiet Park.



This lush expanse of land is a peaceful park. There are no transportation routes or roads here, no residential or commercial buildings, not even the buzz of electric power running through the streets. There is nothing here but silence and nature.
At Wilderness Quiet Park silence is protected as a natural resource. Although tourists can come to tour this majestic acre landscape, the inhabitants (part of the Cofán indigenous people) ensure that everyone abides by the proper rules to maintain the magic of the park.

There are hopes that calm tourism will boost the region and then more people could live this transformative experience. The park is like an Eden, so magical for everyone because it is something rare within cities.

It is increasingly rare for human beings to find intact areas in this world, wonderful places that have not been intervened by our hands. The national park survives protected thanks to its community, which appreciates the work of nature and the importance of the animals that inhabit it.

In 2019 the Zabalo River received the Quiet Park International certification, which ensures that this is a sanctuary for silence. Silent spaces are hard to find these days, noise pollution is fierce, and silence has become something like an endangered species.

This park in Ecuador gives nature the opportunity to find the voice that has been lost in many parts of the world. The Cofán indigenous community is considered the caretaker of the rivers and rain forests of this region, allowing nature to remain intact.

Collective and profoundly constructive work between the environment and human beings allows silent parks in various parts of the world to grow up healthy. The Zabalo River Park is the first in the entire world to receive its certification, and this is excellent news for everyone.
