The project is the brainchild of me, Geoff McCabe, but some of the lots are now owned by others, who are beginning to add their energy and creativity to the project. I’m also the CEO of Anamaya Yoga Resort in Montezuma, and two smaller eco-village projects in the area, Pura Vida Sunsets, and Solar Vistas and am a big proponent of tropical green building. I’ve written several articles on the subject such as this one: Costa Rica Green Building.
The current vision of the project is to create an organic community of eco-minded artists, especially those involved in the performance arts and yoga. Currently, all the lots that have been sold are to people who are musicians, artists, etc.
We have an ongoing “PYP” program: Permaculture and Yoga Program. Guests visit us from around the world, anywhere from 5-15 at a time, to take a series of eight permaculture courses, and are awarded an Introduction to Permaculture Certificate.
This program, which is part yoga retreat and permaculture workshops, keeps our guests very busy throughout their week-long stay. They take additional classes in aerial silk, archery, raw chocolate making, and have a couple of beach and town/nightlife excursions too.
At the heart of Rancho Delicioso is an organic farm, part of which is owned by Anamaya Yoga Resort. Anamaya is investing in its own lots (1 1/4 acres) and is using another 2-3 acres for orchards and additional gardening.
ur “River Palace” is one of the most remarkable structures built in Costa Rica. It’s over 70 feet tall (22m) built over the center of the convergence of three small river valleys. There are three elevated bridges to get to it, and inside are three floors.
The building is really amazing, but keep in mind it’s still pretty primitive. There’s no air conditioning, and it’s very open, made mostly from natural materials. You don’t get a private bathroom. There’s little privacy. It’s still a dorm-type situation, although more like something that Tarzan and his family would be living in.
We take pride in telling you that the food we’ll be serving you is delicious and amazing!
Very similar to what we have at Anamaya, it’s a healthy diet that includes no red meat. It’s mostly vegetarian, but sometimes we have local organic chicken or fresh fish from our fishermen friends in Cabuya.
We can provide you pure vegetarian or vegan if you wish.
Many of the ingredients come from our own farm, but not all. For what we’re unable to grow, we work with organic suppliers on the mainland of Costa Rica, who grow things (like carrots and onions) that require a higher elevation than we have down by the beach. We’re not 100% organic but we do our best with the resources we have. Overall the ingredients we use in the cooking are probably around 80% organic. Everything we grow on the farm is 100% organic.
