Offsetting CO2 and saving the Wacken forest

Will we protect the Holy Ground in the rainforest? 

The Peruvian Amazon rainforest ensures a stable climate worldwide - and therefore also ensures that festivals like the W:O:A will continue to take place in the future and not sink into rain and mud. That's why we want to protect it!
Here you can offset the CO2 emissions of your trip to the festival by preserving a piece of the Wacken rainforest in Peru forever.

Simply choose the travel profile that suits you best - or use our detailed CO2 calculator for an individual calculation of your emissions at the festival.

Let's rock the jungle! 

Mysterious jaguars, wild bats and giant jungle trees, covered in lianas - the Peruvian Amazon rainforest is the most biodiverse place on earth! Together with the entire Wacken community and Wilderness International, you can protect this forest forever.

Fools the ones who stray, the rain forest burns away.
Know what to believe, this is the air we breathe.
So the world we know is dying slow in south america.
Flames are burning down, all the trees to the ground.
