What we do

Can you envision all natural, sustainable, hand crafted huts, using no polluting machines, made from the foraged by hand materials from around the land in the tropical jungle, all natural: guadua bamboo, toquilla palm, piquigua vine, surrounded by a natural fruit orchard with the best fruit trees in the world ? My husband and I have been dedicating our lives to converting pastures full of weeds into a Garden of Eden (The Garden of Eden once was on the equator in the tropics, where we are at an ideal elevation). By cleaning up the land, planting fruit trees that are in danger of extinction (Durian, Chempedak, Marang, best Mangoes, Mangosteen etc..), using only people and machete for harvesting and bringing up materials for all natural structures, we have gotten closer to making this land a place for preserving and keeping life going for all. There has been no pollution in the making of the structures or the care giving of the land. We are looking to have visitors who are doing the work to be one with nature, have the wisdom to understand what that means and can discern life from death, visitors who are conscious about life and have the heart to live in harmony with nature. We are willing to have this for visitors who avoid pollution of all types, noise pollution (any noise that is not natural), body pollution (eating unnaturally, no body lotions, no perfumes of any types, no repellent of any types, no deodorants of any types, no makeup of any types, no shampoo or conditioner or soaps of any types) no chemicals, no technologies, no unnatural building, no synthetic materials, only organic materials to keep the land, water, animals, people out of toxic harm. Only sober and monogamous people that want this are welcome, to be an ideal community for the future for people to live naturally, enjoy nature, the fruit, creatures, all life and commune naturally and share freely.
In The Valley we can submerge in pristine spring water, that flows right out of the earth, where we can enjoy swimming, and natural floating rafts are our ships to explore the deep and on going spring, traversing through the land of the fruits and it’s jungle.
