THE PLACE

 

The community represents 80 hectares of wild land with a beautiful creek.

The land is divided in 5 areas:

• The primary forest is the principal part we want to preserve (70 hectares).

• The purma is a part of the land that has been cut and burned for the cultures and where the vegetation is growing back (fruit trees, young trees…) 

This is the part that we want to reforest. (See Project “Reforestation”)  

• The chacra and the garden, where we cultivate sugar cane, bananas, papayas, maniocs, corn, pineapple, ignams and lots of local varieties of fruits , as cacao, macambo, copoazu, mamey, uvilla, caimito, and vegetables as curcumber, sweet pepper, chili, squash, letuce, caihua, basil...

 

• The living places are in the middle of the forest, next to the river and the cultures. 

The houses are made of wood and leaves for the roof. 

We have a house/dining house, 2 sleeping communal houses, handycraft house, a machin to prepare the sugar cane juice, and a beautifull Maloca for the different workshops and ceremonies.


 

• The retreat area: is located on the other side of the creek, in the middle of the forest, with its own access to the river.

We have 8 private bungalows, simple and rustic, with mosquito screen, bed and hammock.

All the houses are situated around the central sacred fire and the temple, where we gather and celebrate, sing, danse and do ceremonies…
