About El Cerrito

Mission & Vision

Come live off-grid in the jungle, guided by local hosts. Join us for an immersion into this beautifully connected way of life, where the jungle provides what we need, and we live in harmony with the abundant and wild nature around us. Wake up with the howler monkeys in the trees around you, spend the day working on hands-on farm projects from building to planting to weaving, and rest surrounded by the sounds of one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. Your hosts are two experts at jungle living: Dan is a natural builder who constructed our cabins and furniture. He built the wells and electrical systems, and has a creative solution to troubleshoot any problem. Lis is a healer, massage therapist and herbalist, using medicinal plants to heal any ailment.
