  Unterkunft

  Accommodation & Lifestyle at The Sacred Jungle
  
  This winter, you’ll have the unique opportunity to stay in a beautiful yurt that we’ll build together! Once completed, the yurt will be your cozy home during your stay. It will feature:
  
  A comfortable double mattress for a restful sleep.
  
  Insulated Wooden Flooring: Designed to keep you warm and comfortable year-round.
  
  Heating for Winter Nights: Ensuring you stay cozy even on chilly evenings.
  
  
  The yurt offers a glamping-style experience, blending comfort with a connection to nature. We personally live in similar accommodation and can confidently say it’s a functional and enjoyable way to live.
  
  Facilities
  
  Compost Toilet: Located in a separate, easy-to-access building near the yurt.
  
  Outdoor Shower Under the Stars: A refreshing and private bathing experience, surrounded by nature. (You may also have the chance to help us build more enclosed showers during your stay!)
  
  Sustainable Water Use: As we live in a drought-prone area, we kindly ask everyone to take quick showers, turning off the water while soaping up and rinsing.
  
  
  Food & Kitchen
  Our kitchen and land follow a strict vegan philosophy, which we ask all guests to respect during their stay. While you don’t need to be vegan, we do require that no animal products are brought onto or consumed on our premises.
  
  We’ll provide delicious and nourishing meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
  
  Snacks and personal food can be stored in the kitchen, but please ensure they are 100% vegan. Throughout the day, tea, coffee, and water will always be available.
  
  Why Stay with Us?
  Beyond the work, you’ll enjoy a peaceful, off-grid lifestyle surrounded by stunning natural beauty. With evenings spent stargazing or relaxing by the fire, this is a chance to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life and reconnect with nature.
  
  Come join us and make your winter unforgettable!

  Getting Here & Exploring the Area
  
  We live in a beautiful mountainous region, fairly far from the nearest local bus stop. While remote, our location offers breathtaking views and endless opportunities to reconnect with nature.
  
  The bus stop is approximately:
  
  A 1-hour walk through scenic trails
  
  20 minutes by bicycle (mountain bikes only, as the terrain is rugged)
  
  10 minutes by car
  
  
  From the bus stop, you can catch a bus to the town center (about 10 minutes), with connections to most of Andalusia’s stunning destinations.
  
  While we recommend having your own transport for maximum freedom, we do travel to town or to Malaga/Granada at least once a week, and you’re welcome to join us. Please note, however, that this isn’t guaranteed and may not always align with your plans, so we encourage independence in this regard.
  
  Free Time & Adventures
  
  In your free time, there’s so much to enjoy:
  
  Hiking & Cycling: Explore the rugged beauty of our mountainous area with its peaceful trails and panoramic views.
  
  Relaxing by the Beach: Our local beaches are some of the most beautiful in Andalusia—perfect for a day of relaxation or water activities.
  
  Exploring Nearby Cities: Malaga, Granada, and Almeria are within reach, offering rich cultural experiences, history, and adventure.
  
  Staying on the Land: You might simply want to enjoy the tranquility here, surrounded by stunning sea and mountain views. It’s a perfect spot to read, meditate, or simply recharge.
  
  
  Evenings at The Sacred Jungle
  
  Evenings are a time to unwind and connect. We often gather around a cozy fire to share stories and enjoy the serene atmosphere. If you play an instrument, bring it along—music always adds something special to our nights.
  
  Our Lifestyle
  
  At The Sacred Jungle, we live in harmony with nature and value a peaceful, adventure-filled lifestyle. While we’re not party people, we do enjoy the occasional gathering and love spending time with like-minded individuals who appreciate the quiet beauty of off-grid living.
  
  If you’re looking for an escape from the hustle of modern life and a chance to connect with nature, this is the place for you.
