Not a hotel. A family home in the jungle.
Hi, I’m Yamil Nay Vargas. I was born and raised in San Miguel del Bala, an indigenous community of Tacana culture, and I’ve lived on this beautiful land for 30 years. My family lives from farming, and we raise pigs, cows, horses and chickens.
Stay in our home as long as you like, 4, 5, 6 days or more. I offer you an authentic experience with my family: living at the rhythm of the jungle and doing the activities you enjoy, with me as your certified guide.
Guests talk about the family’s warm hospitality, the freedom to plan each day, and the feeling of being welcomed like family.
