Gaia Encantada

A magical thermal water sanctuary and retreat center where permaculture is practiced awaits you in the Ecuadorian Andes.

Do you dream of living in a pure environment breathing the magic of being alive? Do you cherish waking up surrounded by the energy of the vegetation and the sounds of the birds? Do you appreciate the importance of nourishing your soul’s connection with mother nature?

Let me introduce you to the Gaia Encantada Sanctuary, where the healing magic of natural springs, spiritual retreats, ancient medicinal rituals, and wellness practices empower your soul to reach its highest potential.

Nested in the Ecuadorean Andes, at the foot of the Ilaló mountain, this venerable farm is gradually being converted into a holistic wellness center. We are seeking volunteers for different development projects such as building ancient ceremonial temples and guest cabins, planting organic orchards and medicinal-herb greenhouses as well as maintaining the Sanctuary’s pristine condition.

Be part of this dream.

I am Diego Yerovi, the Sanctuary guardian and I invite you to help us build this dream, and to be a part of the Gaia Encantada community of people who are aligned by art, holistic nutrition, love of nature, ancestral rituals and, above all, peace.

Durante mi estadía en Gaia realice trabajos de jardinería sencillos y tambien tuve la oportunidad de degustar comida vegana deliciosa preparada por Diego, el anfitrión fue flexible con los días de trabajo y descanzo, el lugar y pueblo es muy tranquilo y con la facilidad de ir a Quito en Bus en menos de 1 hr.

Gaia Encantada was not as much of a learning experience as I had anticipated. Diego was quite reserved with us and did not seem interested in the work we were doing; directing us then retreating immediately to his quarters. I did not get a sense of leadership, vision or enthusiasm about his property; I spent 15+ hours picking overgrown grass out from between shrubbery (mainly cactuses). There was no yoga/ activities.

The experience wasn’t as educational as I had hoped. The descriptions and reviews suggested that Diego was trying to create a community on his land by building and growing food and herbs while teaching volunteers how to work with the natural land. Two days in we were the only volunteers there (volunteered with my boyfriend) and it was just us weeding plant beds that seemed left alone for months. While there isn’t anything wrong with this- it just wasn’t what was advertised and the only other person there was Diego, who kept to himself most of the time, so it was quite lonely. Peaceful though.

Diego is a really kind and true person.
I liked the way he was creating a group with all the volunteers, we shared great experiences and emotions together.
I truly connected with nature in Gaia Encantada, it's a wonderful place and a space where to enter deeper in touch with your soul.
I really liked the vegan food, the baths, the chants together, the Pambamesa and the cerimonies.
Thank you Diego for opening your sacred space to us, for sharing your true self and permit us to do the same.
