Un modesto y magnífico sueño hecho realidad. Habitar en armonía con la Madre Naturaleza. La filosofía de respeto y cuidado al medio ambiente se palpa en cada rincón de las cabañas. Combinado con armonía la calidez y suavidad de una cama donde descansar después de haber explorado sus grandioso alrededores. Muchas gracias a Sergio Valdez por su hospitalidad y sobretodo, por construir este hermoso Santuario a la Naturaleza. Hasta Pronto!

Un lugar tranquilo para descansar y disfrutar de la naturaleza. Con actividades de turismo de aventura como cañonismo, senderismo, ciclismo de motaña y pesca de mojarras. En la noche se ven maravillosamente las estrellas. Y en la mañana ordeñas tu pajarete y tienes un rico desayuno con tortillas hechas a mano. El canopy esta padre con puente tibetano, escalada de vía Ferrara, rapel y tres tirolesas

Excelente atención con conciencia ecológica. El hotel está situado en medio de la naturaleza, en la falda de una colina cubierta por exuberante bosque nativo. El agua es potable porque viene de un nacimiento cercano. Los sanitarios son secos, por lo que el agua se preserva. Las cabañas son cómodas y el desayuno es sabroso y abundante. Hay un lago bonito para descansar o pescar tilapias y muchas actividades para hacer. Muy recomendado!
