Mennonite families in the Peruvian Amazon faced challenges carving out a home, but Wanderland is now a thriving colony. Their settlements have raised environmental concerns, with accusations of forest clearing without permits. Mennonite history in Latin America dates back a century, and their colonies occupy over 9.64 million acres. As their communities grow, the demand for land increases, prompting the establishment of new settlements. Strong adherence to traditional values and a remote lifestyle drive their relocation. While some environmental impact is acknowledged, Mennonites emphasize their agricultural contributions. Authorities are scrutinizing their activities, but some argue that larger-scale land use in the Amazon warrants more attention. Despite the scrutiny, new Mennonite villages, like Salamanca, continue to emerge.
