achaMama respects this abundant land, the forest, and the rivers by bringing awareness to the impact that we have on the earth. In accordance with this intention, PachaMama uses only bio-degradable soaps and products and insists that every new visitor respects this ecological practice.

The land PachaMama occupies used to be a cattle farm with barely any trees. After having planted thousands of trees the barren land has become a lush forest and continuous efforts are made to maintain and expand it. Trees are only cut in matters of necessity.

PachaMama, a Temple of Transformation, allows the exploration of the spiritual search while striving towards living in harmony with the earth and without disturbing the ecology. At the beginning, when the pioneers of PachaMama were just beginning to establish the community, one of the first acts was planting 2000 trees, the initial step in re-foresting the land and re-creating a healthy ecology.

The community recently began a new project to diversify the forest by reintroducing indigenous trees, recreating the natural ecology that was altered by clear cutting many years ago. Thousands of trees have been planted with the intention to restore the forest.
This project is a way to give thanks to Mother Earth for letting us live here.
