Protecting The Jungle
Haramara Retreat is deeply committed to the protection of the pristine jungle surrounding Haramara Retreat, Sayulita, in the State of Nayarit and to preserving its cultural and ecological diversity. For that purpose, we created the popular hike to the Cerro del Mono (Monkey Mountain), which is one of the sacred sites of the Huichol culture.
The spectacular view from the top of the mountain will give you a sense of the area’s beauty, which is the home of jaguars, pumas, deers, and a vast biodiversity of flora and fauna. Haramara Retreat has been protecting this area for the past 18 years, which implies legal costs, consultants and a partnership with Pro Sayulita, a legal non-profit organization devoted to the protection of rural and urban areas of state.
