Origin
We are located in Aracataca, the land that inspired "One Hundred Years of Solitude" Just as in the book, the yellow Phoebis butterflies here are a sign of abundance and good fortune.
Environmental commintment
Through regenerative agriculture with Onotto and native flowers, we are creating the conditions for biodiversity to thrive and for these insect populations to recover.
Agua mágica
Our endless water source is made daily by Sierra Mágica — through the continuous condensation of the Alisios Winds coming from the ocean, loaded with pure moisture. This magic feeds the water streams of Sierra Mágica, falling from clouds as enchanted rain.
