  • Description

    Description

    Discover the pristine beauty of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, where nature flourishes in its purest form. Named "Origin of the Sky" in Maya, this protected area boasts nine diverse ecosystems, home to 300 species of birds and fish, over 100 mammals, and 70 reptiles.
    We live in a seaside paradise, shielded by coral reefs that create tranquil waters and stunning shades of blue; and a savanna of palms that protect us from winds and the sun.

    Our UNESCO designation reflects our commitment to blending culture and nature. Join a vibrant community of artists, yogis, and ecologists, deeply connected to Sian Ka’an and Tulum. Experience breathtaking sunrises and the harmonious healing energy of this unique haven.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Travelers will benefit from a cultural exchange by practicing their Spanish, immersing themselves in nature, and experiencing the tranquillity of the biosphere reserve. They will learn about off-grid living, ecological practices, yoga, art, healing, and well-being. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on work and contribute to creating conscious content for social media.

    We offer a quiet, natural, rustic, and relaxing environment, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Enjoy the symphony of wind rustling through palms and waves crashing in this secluded spot of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    Located by the beach, you can enjoy a sky full of stars at night, as well as beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We offer guided yoga, meditation, DIY, and artistic practices.

    We are looking for people passionate about healthy eating and living, as well as those knowledgeable or interested in off-grid living—tasks around hydraulics, electrical (solar), and carpentry are sometimes needed to stay functional. Whether you speak Spanish or not, we will help you improve your Spanish skills; we are bilingual. if you like tools, nature, wellness and spirituality this place is for you.

    This place is perfect if you want to learn more about ecology, yoga, hands-on work, authentic expression, art, healing, and well-being. We also love creating conscious content for social media and are eager to learn from you. Musicians are more than welcome.
