Pioneers in exceptional
regenerative travel.

We are 700’000 heures Impact.

TRAVEL AS A FORCE FOR GOOD

We believe travel should be an act of poetry. A way of meeting the world with curiosity, humility and care. 700,000 Heures Impact invites travellers to step beyond the familiar and enter places where time slows, encounters deepen and journeys unfold with meaning.

Through intimate explorations and seasonal presences, we create experiences rooted in beauty, cultural richness and a deep respect for the landscapes and communities that welcome us. Hospitality becomes a bridge, nurturing connections that endure long after the journey ends.

MICROHOSPITALITY BY THIERRY TEYSSIER

A different way of being welcomed.

For more than two decades, Thierry Teyssier has explored hospitality as a living practice – one that resists standardisation and celebrates the singularity of each place. From desert camps to forest lodges and private homes, his approach is guided by intuition, listening and a belief that the most meaningful journeys are those shaped by genuine encounters.

Each experience is crafted with care – offering comfort without excess, discretion without distance and a sense of belonging, wherever you arrive.

We are unique in every way imaginable.

REGENERATIVE TRAVEL AND IMPACT

Over time, regeneration has become not an ambition but a necessity. Our journeys are designed to support local initiatives, nurture cultural heritage and contribute to the vitality of the ecosystems that host us. By travelling thoughtfully, we seek to leave a positive imprint while honouring the autonomy of each community.

DESTINATIONS

Our Explorations

The First Immersive Hospitality Theater Experience
Rwanda

From May to August 2026, Rwanda hosts an experience shaped by artists, communities and landscapes. Conceived as a three-act journey, each moment invites travellers to engage with curiosity, openness and presence. The line between observation and participation gently dissolves as guests move through Kigali, the Twin Lakes of Burera, the forest of Gishwati and the shores of Lake Kivu. An invitation to experience Rwanda not as a destination but as a living narrative, where each day reveals new perspectives. A chapter unfolding very soon…

The Memory Road
Morocco

A slow journey across southern Morocco, from the Atlantic shores to the edges of the Sahara. Over six to nine nights, travellers move between remote houses, a desert camp and living villages – discovering landscapes shaped by wind, memory and tradition. Encounters with local communities reveal a culture rooted in resilience and generosity, while the vastness of the desert invites reflection and stillness. Designed for complete privacy, the journey offers a rare immersion into the quiet beauty of Morocco’s lesser-known south.

Oaxaca Odyssey
Mexico

For a season, we lived between Oaxaca City, the Pacific coast and the mountains of Pueblo del Sol, exploring a region where flavours, crafts and landscapes carry deep stories. Days unfolded through markets, kitchens, forests and long conversations – moving between vibrant city life, ocean calm and mountain solitude. Guests stayed in private homes, discovering the richness of local traditions at a gentle pace. As with every 700,000 Heures Impact chapter, the experience was shaped by presence, exchange and respect.
