Rules

We are a small dynamic community that got together to live in a natural oasis, where we choose to live in harmony and peace with nature.

The place is isolated and wild, with few comforts, and surrounded by thousands of hectares of native forest and animals, so you have to be a nature lover to really fit in your time here.

There's a big communal kitchen and different shelters to use, all of them built by bioconstruction and recicled materials. You can hang your hammock or pitch your tent anywhere you like.

Basic food is cheap here, and we also produce lots of vegetables, but as we are not running a business or make any money with what we do here, we are in need to ask visitors and volunteers to help with the food costs, but is very accessible to anyone.

We eat vegetarian / vegan (no meat cooking)
Respect for our neighbors, people living here and nature: plants, animals, water and soil.
