  • Description

    Description

    Valyter is a community life initiative in nature. The small village is nestled among grasslands, an endemic forest, a eucalyptus grove, and the source of the Aguanaz River. We progressively strive for self-sufficiency in natural harmony through vegetable and fruit terraces, cornfields, honeycombs, and edible forests. We live with respect for animal life, a vegetarian diet, solidarity without economic transactions, and a simple, creative, and collaborative life.

    Community life is guided by a Charter of Values, a Coexistence Guide, and a volunteer contract that promote respect, cooperation, and mutual care.

    Valyter es una iniciativa de vida comunitaria en naturaleza. La pequeña aldea se encuentra entre praderas, bosque endémico, un eucaliptal y el nacimiento del río Aguanaz. Aspiramos progresivamente hacia la autosuficiencia en armonía natural mediante bancales hortícolas, frutales, milpa, panales, y bosques comestibles. Vivimos con respeto a la vida animal, dieta vegetariana, solidaridad sin transacciones económicas y una vida sencilla, creativa y colaborativa.

    La vida comunitaria se guía por una Carta de Valores, una Guía de Convivencia y un contrato de voluntariado que promueven el respeto, la cooperación y el cuidado mutuo.
