The Jaime Romero Modern Art Foundation, located in San José de Minas, Ecuador, aims to preserve and promote the work of painter Jaime Romero while supporting the cultural growth of the local community. Housed in the artist’s family home, the foundation displays 250 pieces, including oils, ceramics, and watercolors. Beyond exhibiting Romero’s art, the foundation hosts community events, workshops, and artist residencies, fostering cultural expression in collaboration with the surrounding parishes of the Ruta Escondida.

Jungle Crossing Travels supports this mission by including visits to the museum and Ruta Escondida’s attractions in its tour packages, allowing travelers to connect with local art and history. A portion of the profits from these packages is donated to the foundation, helping fund educational programs, exhibitions, and social projects. This partnership enables Jungle Crossing Travels to support the foundation’s sustainability and promotes responsible tourism, benefiting both visitors and the community.

Through this collaboration, Jungle Crossing Travels and the Jaime Romero Modern Art Foundation strengthen cultural identity and tourism in the region, while fostering the preservation of cultural heritage and traditions. By incorporating the museum and Ruta Escondida into its packages, Jungle Crossing Travels supports not only the foundation’s sustainability but also a deeper commitment to the conservation of Ecuador’s artistic heritage. This partnership enriches both the community and travelers, creating a meaningful connection between art, tourism, and the preservation of cultural legacy in San José de Minas.
