We, Fabian and Elisabeth Beltran started Tayrona Beijing in 2019. Here we will tell you more why.
The idea of having eco-minded cycling tours started during our annual cycling private tour in Hainan in January 2019. We were cycling through stunningly beautiful parts far away from all the ‘touristy’ sites. The roads led us through fishing villages, pepper plantations, pineapple fields, coconut forests and deserted beaches. We rejoiced seeing coconut husks and empty coconuts being collected for recycling or further use. Seeing coconut tree nurseries at the side of a road brought smiles on our faces. There are so many things you can make out of those natural products! Having a fresh coconut just cut from the tree was a treat in one of those small villages by the beach. We enjoyed the ride as in previous years. However we were disturbed by the amount of trash on the sides of the roads, at the beaches and in other places.
Meeting the kids who followed us encouraged us to pursue the idea of founding a company which would promote sustainable and eco-friendly tourism. Travelling is one passion we share. We try to use every free weekend to go somewhere, even if it’s nearby. We enjoy getting to know our neighborhood by bike. Sometimes we do not remember street names but we know how to get to places, which amazes our Chinese friends.
Another passion we have is teaching and mentoring. We believe that we can share our experience with people around. We love to promote education and see the impact on the lives of students and their families. Education is also key in environmental protection. We want to help people understand why it is important to protect their natural environment and how we can make a difference as individuals.
Further, we want to help people with special dietarian needs. Some people suffer from food allergies, others are vegan, others are lacto-intolerant and some others need gluten-free food. We are vegetarian and know by experience how difficult can be at times to find suitable food while traveling around China. Therefore, we decided to organize tours, trips, camps and events for people with a plant based or any other special diets. Living a healthy life and helping others to learn more about health is the third passion we share.
Besides our love for traveling, nature, its protection and a healthy life style we love people. We enjoy meeting new friends and listening to their stories, thoughts and worldviews.
That’s how the idea of our company started to form.
We hope you can find on our menu of events that will meet your needs and expectations: eco-minded cycling tours, customized tours, summer and winter camps for children, teens, young adults, families and companies. 1�ތ��
