SOTThe 7 Worlds

Seven thematic units of the territory

The 7 Worlds

Seven reasons to arrive. Seven to return. The Nueva Esparta archipelago is organized into seven Worlds: product units with their own name, calendar and host community, grounded in real places.

DesignThe Worlds are system design [D]; the places, products and areas that sustain them are verified facts [V].

Two operating registers

Every World operates in one of two registers: some host the traveller and concentrate the offer; others preserve their fragility through certified access and measured carrying capacity.

With lodging

The traveller sleeps inside the World.

Pure expedition

The territory sleeps untouched: the visit takes place by day, with a guide.

The system’s connections

MGTAThe operators of every World are certified under the MGTA standard — the territory’s quality threshold.Sovereign RetentionThe community half of the retention goes to the District Community Fund: the full design, linked.The territory’s traffic lightThe archipelago’s state across 11 indicators, every 15 minutes, on the Green Corridor’s public board.CommonwealthThe legal figure of the 11 municipalities that custodies the system.Paraguachoa ParkEvery World is a gateway to the park of parks: the archipelago’s real protected areas.The AI TriadEvery World names its guardian: ALMA in its modes and the Cacique Macanao in his.

The commitment

“An experimental proposal, subject to consultation with communities and experts should the State adopt the SOT.”

The Worlds are a proposal of the SOT Paraguachoa. Communities and experts define their final shape if the State adopts the system: every territorial decision is consulted with those who live it.

The Worlds are built on the memory of the Guaiquerí people, cited by page from the Cacique’s archive, and on the MGTA standard, the sovereign retention and the territorial traffic light of the SOT Paraguachoa.
