Description
My Name is David , Im from Guadalajara Mexico, I have been living in tulum since 2003, where almost 15 years worked as a kitesurfing Instructor. now Im 45, just sold my business, and started putting love into this piece of beautiful property that Ive owned for the past 15 years or more....with a cenote sitting in 2 hectares of Mayan Jungle. Im in a moment of my life, that Im focusing on building a place for the Comunitty, specifically, for kids, I have an 8 year old, and Tulum, has literally nothing to do with the kids. I want to share with the kids in the Comunitty and visitors, some of my passions, Im building a Mushroom Farm, A butterfly garden, a vegetable garden, and art installations around the cenote and jungle, and 6 dormitories, so we can host and create , conscious sustainable camps, throughout the whole year, besides winter and summer camps, I believe is very important for the kids of the Comunitty to have a recurrent camp facility where they can come and learn about so much beautiful things, bonfire, nature, birds, monkeys, turtles, flowers, art, music, stars, the list is endlesss.... while spending time with other kids and other people from other countries, we are creating a space where the Kids can come and learn about the nature, while in the nature, playing doing arts and crafts, and learning about those, as well permaculture, love and respect for the nature, etc.-

the cenote is located 8 km north of tulum, the best way to go from tulum, is to catch a bus or a ride while hitch hiking, even a moped works, you can get 1 for around 300 use and sell it afterwards. from the main highway where the bus drops off, there is a 10 min or 800 meter walk to the place. on a safe and jungly road.
