Program Details

We are a small dynamic community that got together to live in a natural oasis, where we choose to live in harmony and peace with nature.

We relate with conscience and love to everything that surrounds us.

We dream and create this space everyday, working the land to produce our own food.

Recicling and reutilizing materials, and also using natural ones, we build and make our projects come true.

Pure water and clean air, no pollution, with an incredibly open sky to contemplate sunsets, the moon and the stars, this is our setting to disconnect from modern day life, noise, abuse of information and mass media, and to reconnect our roots with nature, living free as human beings used to do.

The place is isolated and wild, with few comforts, and surrounded by thousands of hectares of native forest and animals, so you have to be a nature lover to really fit in your time here.

Activities & Shift

The main goal is to learn how to live in nature without destroying it, and detaching from modern life habits that harm ourselves.

But most of all this is a space to meet yourself, the free spirit who can play, learn and experience everything in this beautiful playground.

There's a big communal kitchen and different shelters to use, all of them built by bioconstruction and recicled materials. You can hang your hammock, pitch your tent or you can just camp anywhere you like, we have some tents to lend in case you want to.

Basic food is cheap here, and we also produce lots of vegetables, but as we are not running a business or make any money with what we do here, we are in need to ask visitors and volunteers to help with the food costs, but is very accessible to anyone.

Rules

We eat vegetarian (no meat cooking)
Respect for our neighbors, people living here and nature: plants, animals, water and soil.
Please don't bring drugs, alcohol or pets.
