VALLE DE BRAVO, MÉXICO 2022
Our "NEW VENTURE" seems to be a relatively new project, but it is not, as we had been planning it for over 12 years.
For a long time, we recognized the beauty and power of this Natural Reserve (Valle de Bravo), which is an idyllic place for all our visitors to dive deep into themselves
Its natural design makes it one of a kind, we had respected the forest with eco-building and using local resources

SPECTACULAR LOCATIONS
Valle de Bravo and arounds are the perfect environment to support the process of healing and self-knowldege while you have the chance to go out.
This area is known by its beautiful hikkings and plenty excursions ( Butterfly Sancturay, The Whit Volcano, etc).
