Montaña de Luz, un hogar de Ecoespiritualidad en los Andes ecuatorianos.

In a world where climate change advances inexorably, deforestation devours our forests and pollution suffocates our rivers and oceans, it is imperative to rethink our relationship with the planet.

Every day, ecosystems crumble under the weight of human activity, bringing us to the brink of an ecological abyss. In the face of human irresponsibility, neither capitalism, socialism or communism have been able, throughout history, to promote a peaceful and harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

In this ocean of ideological, moral and cultural crisis, where the shadows of selfishness and greed have darkened hearts, the universe calls us to wake up. It is time to remember the teachings of the wise men of yesteryear, of our ancestors, it is time to rescue forgotten values and be reborn in harmony with nature.

Therefore, in a sacred corner of the planet, where the mountains rise majestically, the wind sings its eternal melody and the clouds join the sky with the earth on the horizon, rises a refuge of hope and renewal: Montaña de Luz, a project that was born with the mission of being a lighthouse in the darkness, a home of Eco-spirituality, whose guides are respect, harmony, balanced growth and sustainable development.

Here, in the heart of the ecuadorian Andes, we continue a story that began more than a quarter of a century ago in the province of Manabí.

In Manabí, through "Alándaluz" - an ecological project, unprecedented at the time - and "Cantalapiedra" - a nature conservation stronghold -, we sow the seeds of change. We cultivate the land with love, build with respect, and educate for a sustainable future. There, each action was intertwined with nature, each step was a tribute and a song to life.

In Manabí, solidarity and cooperation were acts of love that united nearby towns and left an indelible mark on society, and now, in Montaña de Luz, the essence of these projects blooms radiantly in an embrace between Mother Earth and its people, accompanied by the music of silence.

Montaña de Luz is a vision where man and nature dance in unison and in balance, creating a legacy of respect, harmony and care for present and future generations.

Here, in the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes, where nature breathes in peace, the home of Montaña de Luz ecospirituality, flourishes as an oasis of hope, balance and renewal.

Here, where there was once a wild mountain, today a harmonious botanical garden emerges, next to a rainbow stuck in the ground, thanks to thousands of ornamental plants, fruit trees and organic orchards planted, which reveal, even from a distance, a wonderful natural spectacle.

Here, at Montaña de Luz, every corner is a testimony of respect, balance and love for nature. Here, in our commitment to combat climate change, we have restored the environment and practiced sustainable architecture in all our facilities: in the restaurant, in the eco-hotel cabins and also in the Tao, where the spirit is harmonized and seeks to heal the soul, in the process to heal the body.

At Montaña de Luz we embrace a respectful and responsible coexistence with all living beings.

More than 38.000 plants planted by the Montaña de Luz community have made the place a sanctuary where life flourishes in perfect harmony. Each plant, each flower, each fruit, is cared for with passion and respect, creating an environment that inspires, teaches and engages.

But, at Montaña de Luz we not only create life, we help others preserve it and for this reason, we have become the home of 1.500 orchids, which grow radiantly next to the San Francisco' Garden, one of the several spaces of peace that make up the 42 hectares, which include Montaña de Luz.

Furthermore, at Montaña de Luz, health and sustainability are intertwined. We practice responsible eating, cultivating our own organic gardens, which nourish the body and soul. Each food is prepared with love and respect in our restaurant, celebrating and giving thanks, at every moment, for the abundance of the earth.

But our commitment does not end here. We involve the community, we work in harmony with the inhabitants of Pablo Arenas and other nearby towns. We promote good practices and economic benefits, respecting the ecosystem and strengthening the sense of community.

At Montaña de Luz, it is essential to take care of the spirit to live in harmony. In a world dominated by consumerism, the cultivation of spirituality helps us find a deeper and more meaningful meaning in our lives.

Through different healing therapies, we explore the connection with the inner being in search of the peace, wisdom and compassion necessary to face life's challenges with balance and serenity.

Meditation, reflection, the use of music and temazcal as a therapeutic and spiritual means, in search of inner connection and bond with nature, are practices that nourish our deepest essence, allowing us to heal from within.

By caring for the soul we improve our physical, mental and emotional health, and, in addition, we cultivate greater empathy and respect for other beings. For this reason, at Montaña de Luz we take care of the most intimate fibers of the human being, promoting personal transformation as agents of social change.

At Montaña de Luz, every action, every gesture, is a seed of hope, here we cultivate a legacy of love and respect for our planet, and we seek to illuminate the path to a sustainable and harmonious future. Join us, and together let's build a world where the light of hope never goes out.
