    Description

    After many years questioning how to deal with the adverse context in which we find ourselves, an idea arises, a shared dream in search of living better, in harmony with nature, with people and with ourselves. After years of work and planning, an endless project begins to come to life, inspired by our children and future generations.
    We are a small community at the foot of the mountain in Amealco that rethinks the way of living and generates experiences of value for people, having nature as its guide and guiding axis. We collect rainwater, use photovoltaic panels, grow part of our food free of chemicals, use dry toilets, harvest honey, among other eco-techniques and activities in search of achieving the highest degree of sustainability and happiness possible.

    Después de muchos años cuestionándonos como hacer frente al contexto tan adverso en el que nos encontramos, surge una idea, un sueño compartido en búsqueda de vivir mejor, en armonía con la naturaleza, con la gente y con nosotros mismos. Después de años de trabajo y planeación empieza a cobrar vida un proyecto sin fin, inspirado en nuestros hijos y en las futuras generaciones.
    Somos una pequeña comunidad al pie de la montaña en Amealco que replantea la forma de vivir y generar experiencias de valor para las personas, teniendo como guía y eje rector a la naturaleza. Recolectamos agua de lluvia, usamos paneles fotovoltáicos, cultivamos parte de nuestra comida libre de químicos, usamos baños secos, cosechamos miel, entre otras ecotecnias y actividades en búsqueda de ir logrando el mayor grado de sustentabilidad y felicidad posible.
