A living regenerative laboratory.

A pioneer community living in harmony with the land — organic permaculture farm, eco guest house, bar-restaurant and gathering place on the hillsides of Tzununá, Lake Atitlán.

15 years of regeneration

A hillside transformed.

For more than a decade, we've been turning degraded Lake Atitlán hillsides into thriving, integrated landscapes. What you see today is real regeneration — soil built from bare rock, water systems that feed the watershed, and a diverse community of plants, animals and people living in symbiosis.

  • Food forests that produce year-round abundance
  • Water systems that capture and infiltrate every raindrop
  • Soil so alive you can feel the difference beneath your feet
  • A model for what's possible across Lake Atitlán
What grows here

A complete regenerative system.

Every element on the farm is interconnected — food and medicine, water and fertility, shelter and community all moving in cycles that build rather than deplete.

Food Forests & Agroforestry

Layered perennial polycultures that produce food, medicine and materials while building soil fertility.

Water Harvesting

Swales, ponds and cisterns that capture rainfall, slow runoff and recharge groundwater.

Soil Regeneration

Compost systems, mulching and cover crops that rebuild living, carbon-rich topsoil.

Regenerative Gardens

Integrated vegetable and herb gardens that feed the restaurant and guest house year-round.

Natural Building

Earthquake-proof structures using local materials and ecological construction techniques.

Animal Systems

Integrated herds of goats, hens and chickens that add fertility and food to the system.

On-Site Sauna

A traditional wood-fired sauna surrounded by gardens — wellness rooted in the land.

Native Reforestation

Planting native trees and shrubs that restore the watershed and regenerate the forest.

Walk the farm with us.

A farm tour is more than a walk — it's a conversation with the land and the people who've spent 15 years listening to it. See the ponds that feed the watershed. Walk the food forests. Learn how soil becomes abundance. Book a private or group tour and experience regeneration firsthand.

Come see regeneration in action.

Spend a day walking the farm, or a week living here. Either way, you'll feel what's possible when humans work with nature instead of against it.
