The charming, eco-friendly guesthouse is nestled in nature, perched on a gentle hill overlooking a tranquil freshwater lake in the commune 'Rosario' outside the fishing village 'Puerto Esperanza'. This still very original community was built about 60 years ago after the Cuban Revolution and has not changed much since then. Only the typical brick houses have occasionally been repainted. About 25 km further is the famous tobacco and hiking mecca 'Viñales'. The nearby islands 'Cayo Jutias' and 'Cayo Levisa' are just a short drive away.

The food is freshly prepared with a focus on seasonal and regional ingredients. Mainly vegetarian and vegan.

On-site yoga classes combined with accommodation with the hosts (two Swiss, Andrea Büchel and Luca Flaig, both licensed yoga instructors (Vinyasa/Astanga). These classes are available in German, Spanish, or English.

In the programs "Yoga Package" & "Yoga Trip Cuba", the yoga sessions are led by a Cuban instructor (with an international certificate) in "Spanglish". Luis Alberto Sánchez is a yoga instructor in Havana, Cuba. He was trained by the "Asociación Cubana de Yoga" under the leadership of Eduardo Pimentel, a prominent figure in Cuban yoga for over 45 years. While he does not strictly adhere to one style of yoga, his practice and teaching are heavily influenced by "Vinyasa Flow", focusing on proper nutrition, the sequence of asanas, and the design of safe and well-structured classes. Luis also has experience in Prenatal and Restorative Yoga. He has had the opportunity to learn from renowned instructors such as Sean Curn, Tias Little, Mary Parford, Janet Macleod, and Edgar Martinez. Additionally, he has successfully completed a 200-hour yoga instructor training in Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, meeting the standards of the Yoga Alliance USA at Rishikul Yogashala in India.

In addition to the fitness opportunities on the property's yoga deck, the surrounding area offers numerous options for physical activities. The small lake can be explored via stand-up paddle or circled with an early morning jog. Equipped with fresh fruit juices and a snack, you can trek through the impressive "Mogotes" to "Viñales". For those who prefer a faster pace, horseback riding or tours with mountain or e-bikes are available. The area also offers ample opportunities for bird and nature watching.
