Détails du programme

Nahualcali is an eco-retreat-style sanctuary inside Chacahua National Park in Oaxaca, Mexico, encircled by the sea, mangroves, lagoons, and wildlife. After Hurricane Erick (June 2025), we’re rebuilding using natural materials, art, and community care—offering a blend of purposeful work and deep nature immersion. As a hosted experience, we provide structure and support, with individuals contributing to our shared vision of restoration.

Règles

No plastic or disposable packaging—we cannot manage trash removal.
Respect the wildlife—expect animals, bugs, mosquitoes; tread lightly.
No loud music or parties after 10 pm—this is a quiet, healing retreat.
Take care of tools, shared spaces, and each other.
Be flexible, proactive, and responsible—we’re hosted, not communal, and appreciate attention to guidelines.
We kindly ask you to treat our kitchen utensils with love and care, as they’re shared by all. If something gets accidentally broken, we’d appreciate a small contribution to help us replace it—this way, we can keep our kitchen cozy and welcoming for everyone.
