The experience

Somos la familia Martínez Maya y cuidamos este rancho como un proyecto de vida. En los últimos años, el crecimiento acelerado de Puerto Escondido nos ha recordado la importancia de proteger la tierra, los recursos y los saberes rurales.
Nuestro Rancho nace como un espacio para aprender, compartir y practicar una forma de vida más consciente, sencilla y respetuosa con la naturaleza.
