Gardens, forest, and a working farm

Across Araucana’s twenty acres, gardens, forest paths, and growing spaces invite you to spend time outdoors and notice the life around you.

From the land to the kitchen

We grow fruits and vegetables for our kitchen using organic farming practices. Coffee, yuca, and plantain are among the crops grown here. The work of the garden carries through to the meals we share with our guests.

Time among the trees

Follow three kilometers of walking paths through the forest, with time to watch for birds and enjoy the surroundings at your own pace.

In our nursery, we tend plants for the gardens, including native species and flowering plants such as orchids. Their care is part of the ongoing work that shapes Araucana’s spaces.
