Details

• 

  Description

  We are making an art community in the nature reserve in Sian Ka’an. This is a special place with our own private beach in the middle of the wild nature that surrounds us. It’s a nice place to enjoy the soft sounds of local birds and the calm lapping of the sea. Experince include visiting local Mayan ruins while enjoying fresh coconuts that are harvested from our property as much as fresh seafood. I'm an professional artist working on projects both locally and abroad and I'm happy to share my talents as much as potentially offer inclusion in upcoming projects. Working here you will mainly be assisting them while also sharing your individual talents whatever they may be. We have three local employees who are in charge of cleaning and maintaining the place.

  What else ...

  On your time off you are welcome to travel to Tulum or local town called Punta Allen if transportation is coordinated with our driver. This is a really remote place so be prepared for a rustic experience with basic amenities. There is almost always a constant wind so mosquitos are infrequent but best to be prepared. Same thing goes with sunscreen if necessary. There is no cell service but we do have WiFi. There is no cable nor television. Everyone needs to be respectful to both the place as much as the people here and to not have any illicit behaviors. Drinking is allowed but only in moderation. Again, the most important is to be respectful.
