Description
Hola amigxs 🌞
Mucho gusto, and thank you for your interest.
This is a living eco-project growing slowly in Puertecito, a small village in Oaxaca, just 5 minutes from the beach.
Right now, the place is very much in process. A team of five local builders is working on the second house on the property, built with natural adobe techniques.our gardener — who has been developing the land for over five years — continues to cultivate a tropical garden full of flowers, fruit trees, herbs, and native plants.
This is not a finished eco-village or a polished retreat. It’s a hands-on, evolving project.
A space for people who want to learn, contribute, and live closer to nature. A place where construction, gardening, and daily life come together.
We provide basic food ingredients for volunteers. Meals are self-cooked, giving you freedom to eat simply, creatively, and according to your own rhythm.
The project is located in Puertecito, a small village slightly away from the highway. It takes about 10 minutes by motorcycle to reach the main road, where you can catch colectivos or buses to Puerto Escondido, Mazunte, and other nearby towns.
We have wifi, water, and electricity.

Accommodation
At the moment, accommodation is camp-style: you can sleep in a tent or in your van/car.
We have a large tipi style tent, mattresses, a kitchen for your use, and a bathroom that is almost finished. You are invited to create the space you need — this is part of the experience. We are also finishing the first volunteer house in two weeks.
We provide basic food ingredients for volunteers. Meals are self-cooked, giving you freedom to eat simply and according to your own rhythm.
What else ...
Outside of work, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the coast—surfing on nearby beaches, going for a walk, swimming, or just relaxing by the ocean. You’ll also have the chance to practice and improve your Spanish.
We are about 20 mins away from Puerto Escondido where you can go shopping, partying and enjoying some more beautiful beaches. In the other direction about 30 mins away is Mazunte and Zipolite.
