  • Description

    Description

    I am a passionate individual that loves nature to the fullest. Also, I love caring for animals and providing for my rescue dogs. Our team is small and everyone is fully involved in keeping up the property, the plants and the animals that live here.

    This is a non-profit project that focuses on sustainability, eco practices and the protection of the animals in the area.

    Our commitment is to develop self-sustaining mechanisms in organic agriculture. We pay special attention to the soil and its nutrients to achieve optimal crops.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Considering that we only ask for 5 hours of volunteer work in the morning, travelers can relax starting late afternoon-evening and all day on Saturday and Sunday. That's plenty of time to enjoy and hike our 300,000 sq meter property and surrounding areas and communities. Exploring nature and learning our local agriculture. Also, our region is known for the high density of botanical plants used in natural medicine. Furthermore, administrators and workers alike are native Mexicans and we have so much to share: customs, traditions, ways of cooking and the sincere connections with fellow humans.
