Geotourism Vouluntourism Trips to Help Haiti

Due to the tragedy in Haiti we are offering service trips to the Dominican  / Haitian border region to provide support and Sun Ovens to the rebuilding efforts. The rescue is concluding, and you can help rebuild. Weekly trips start February 14, 2010 and are always available from then on. Since 2005 we have served Voluntourism Travelers ready to lend a hand.

Visit our Geotourism Center. Travel & Help Others
Welcome! El Fuego del Sol Geotourism Ecovillage is in the Dominican Republic, less than a 4-hour flight from Chicago. This is one of the richest and poorest areas of the world. Our programs connect international tourists with Dominican and Haitian people, and the history, culture, cuisine, and ecology of the island. Worktrips, day-tours and ecotourism travelers are welcome. Help El Fuego del Sol help others. Featured in Conscious Choice magazine and on the NPR program Worldview.

El Fuego del Sol


We are hosting socially beneficial tours, distributing Sun Ovens, holding cultural and historical events, teaching classes, and developing the property itself as we invite others to join our creative team! Help us improve the lives of some of the least advantaged people in the Western Hemisphere!


GeoTourism is the norm in many countries. However, El Fuego del Sol is introducing the concept in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Help us demonstrate sustainable tourism in the tropical country that the Chicago Tribune calls the most popular Caribbean tourist destination. The project is Triple-Bottom-Line, operating with financial sustainability as we work to benefit the social and ecological environment of the Dominican Republic.

The Power of Programming


Each of our programs is designed to be financially sustainable as it works to improve the social and ecological environments of the Dominican Republic. We are a triple bottom line company: focusing on helping people and the planet by generating profit.  Programs create business opportunities, Fair Trade jobs, and long-term social solutions. Included in the expenses of each program is appropriate facility cost which goes to pay the current mortgage on the property.

Sun Oven Manufacture, Distribution & Donation
We are working with local NGOs in the Dominican Republic to distribute Sun Ovens near the Haitian Border. Sun Ovens fight deforestation and drastically improve the lives of women, children and families. Donations are tax deductible.

Your group could also run a clothing drive to create Fair Trade jobs in the Dominican Republic and finance the donations of Sun Ovens to Haiti. Details here.

Donate a Sun Oven now to a family in need at: www.forceofthesun.com


MicroLending For Profit!
Local lenders in the Dominican Republic can charge the equivalent of 300% annual percent or higher! Help El Fuego del Sol provide reasonable lending opportunities to Dominican entrepreneurs. Thousands are waiting now with available collateral and the proven ability to make regular payments. Give someone a chance to start or improve their own business while you benefit financially as well. Visit CarefulLoans.net.

El  Fuego del Sol
can host 200+ campers at our site. Cabins are available for counselors or individual rental.

There was no campground in the area until we opened ours. Tent camping spaces are now available with all necessary services for the campers’ comfort.The campground can also supply sleeping space for volunteers who will work with churches and social service charities in the area. The camp is now open and would be perfect for work/service trips or just to come and relax. Camp at El Fuego del Sol!
