The People Behind Naturalia
To create a retreat in such a remote and untouched location, takes a huge and ongoing team effort. Our staff comes exclusively from the local communities or the neighboring areas. While walking through Naturalia you will find a lot of smiling and welcoming faces that will be ready to greet you or to help you even if not all of them speaks perfect english. See below just some of the people who work hard everyday to bring you this unique and beautiful experience
Manu & Paula

He committed himself to a healing center that respects and follows indigenous and traditional ways, supporting the local communities and preserving the local forest. Manu loves people and their unique ways, and he is always ready to have a chat, share a laugh or sing a song together while playing guitar.
