Casa Algarrobo relaxing farm stay in Puerto Rico

Welcome to Casa Algarrobo! 🌴

Nestled in the serene mountains of Ciales, Casa Algarrobo offers a truly unique experience on a farm transitioning into a thriving food forest. Located within the watershed of the Cialito River, this land is more than a getaway—it's a place of harmony between humans and nature.

At Casa Algarrobo, everything revolves around nurturing the natural world and embracing the steps necessary to restore a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem. We believe in immersing yourself in this natural haven, where the focus is on reconnecting with the environment. Here, you can let go of the distractions of modern amenities—no AC or TV—just the soothing sounds of chirping crickets and rustling leaves. (Don’t worry; we’ve got fans to keep you cool!)

Our mission is to repopulate the land with native and endemic species, working hand-in-hand with nature to create a rich tapestry of life. This farm, once dedicated to cattle and coffee, is now evolving into a sustainable food forest, where every living organism, seen and unseen, plays a role in the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

Expect to hear the countryside symphony of animals (they’re the real stars here!) and, yes, a few mosquitoes eager to join the party. So, be sure to pack that bug spray! 🦟 Since our cozy spot is a bit isolated, we recommend bringing all the essentials you might need. If you forget anything, don’t panic! There’s a supermarket not too far away—just in case you need a last-minute snack or two.

We invite you to connect with the land, feel the energy of the surroundings, and appreciate the kinship between all living beings. Whether it's the whisper of the wind through the trees, the hum of insects, or the scent of native flora, you'll feel a deep sense of belonging in this shared space of human and non-human life.

Casa Algarrobo also represents our commitment to a sustainable economy, supporting the ongoing regeneration of this land. For three weeks each month, we open our doors to guests seeking a peaceful retreat in nature, while one week is reserved for our close family, continuing the legacy of our ancestors.

Come and experience the transformative power of nature at Casa Algarrobo, where every stay contributes to the preservation and care of this evolving ecosystem.
