    Description

    We are a couple dreaming of creating a permaculture and nature experience on the coast of Mexico. Four years ago we began building this place from the ground up, surrounded by nature. Today the land has water, electricity, and simple infrastructure, but most importantly it has become a peaceful space where we live closely connected with nature and a slower rhythm of life.

    Our project is inspired by permaculture, sustainability and human connection. We welcome people who enjoy simple living, natural environments, learning by doing, and sharing experiences from different cultures. Over the years we have hosted volunteers from many parts of the world through other platforms, and now we are excited to open this new chapter on Workaway.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Over the years we have welcomed people from many different countries and backgrounds, creating a small international community in the middle of nature. We love learning from each other through conversations, music, food, creativity, languages, and daily life together.
    We enjoy sharing local life on the Mexican coast, simple living, our traditions, and the connection with nature that this place offers. At the same time, volunteers often bring their own knowledge, stories, recipes, practical skills, and perspectives from their cultures, which helps the project continuously evolve. The exchange here is not only about work, but also about living together, collaborating, sharing meals, spending evenings around the fire, exploring nature, and creating meaningful human connections. We believe everyone who comes here leaves something behind and takes something valuable with them.

    Help

    We enjoy welcoming open minded, respectful, and easygoing couples who genuinely appreciate nature and simple living. Life here is deeply connected to the environment, so we value people who are conscious, collaborative, and happy to be part of a shared space and community life.

    We are especially welcoming couples who enjoy working with plants, gardening, nature, and simple maintenance tasks around the land. You do not need to be experts in permaculture or construction. What matters most to us is a positive attitude, curiosity, adaptability, and willingness to help with daily projects while enjoying the experience of living close to nature.

    We love hosting travelers and nature lovers interested in sustainability, cultural exchange, and learning different ways of living. This is not a party hostel or a luxury retreat. It is a peaceful place where we try to live in harmony with nature and with each other.

    Respect, communication, kindness, and awareness are very important to us because this project is also our home.
