Details

  • Description

    Description

    We are a young Bolivian family passionate about art (sculpture and painting), working the land, and conscious living. We left urban life to move near the Parabano Forest Reserve and Amboró National Park. Our project seeks to HEAL THE PLANET through bioconstruction, recycling, and the responsible consumption of our natural resources.

    We live simply and in direct contact with nature (which includes sharing our space with many insect neighbors!). We are moving towards self-sufficiency: we obtain water from springs and rainwater, use solar energy, cook with firewood, and have ecological toilets.

    We have built our first two houses using bioconstruction techniques with earth, straw, stone, and recycled materials.

    We want to be a meeting point for cultural and human exchange; a space where people from all over the world can live together as one big family united by friendship and fraternity. We're looking for people who share these interests, who want to connect with their roots, and who also have knowledge to share. We invite you to join our community, grow with us, and make a positive impact on the world!

    Currently, we are in the process of establishing a protected area to guarantee the legal preservation of our forests and the defense of local flora and fauna.

    📌 Important Information for Your Stay

    Household Rules: Alcohol and drugs are strictly prohibited.

    Location: We are located in a remote area near the forest reserve. We are far from shops and pharmacies (the nearest basic store is an hour away). We recommend planning your needs carefully.

    🍽️ Meal Options:

    Option 1 (Bring Your Own): You can bring your own food, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.

    Option 2 (Community Kitchen): Daily contribution of $4 to $5 for meals in our community kitchen. This includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Monday through Sunday.
