The Experience

The Reserve covers an area of ​​30 hectares of protected forest. We are a successful reforestation project and plant sanctuary. At the moment we are a lodge, but we are shifting our direction slightly to focus more on the environmental part and retreat. We are looking into turning more into a retreat center (advice welcome). The reserve is a quiet place, we dont have parties, nor are crowded. Its more a place to experience to be in nature.

Uufff se me hace re difícil poder explicar y detallar todo lo que vivi ahi, llegue viajando solo y encontré una familia muy linda, desde los dueños y trabajadores. Todos muy bellas personas. Es un lugar full para conectarse con uno mismo y la naturaleza, hay hartas actividades que se pueden hacer al rededor y hay mucha sabiduría en el entorno. Lo recomiendo 100000%. Ya el primer día que pisé la reserva sentí que estaba en el lugar correcto y ya quiero regresar Jejeje es un lugar muy mágico. Agradecido de las personas que le dan la esencia al espacio, de todas las conversaciones, bromas, risas ymas
