Arutam Chakra is not a traditional guided tour, it is a jungle living experience. Here you don’t arrive as a tourist, you come as a guest to a home that was created as a paradise for those of us who deeply love nature. I am your host and I live here, so every experience is close, human and real. For two nights and three days you will feel the jungle with all the senses: we will walk, bathe in the river, listen to the birds, cook in firewood and prepare artisan chocolate. We will use medicinal plants in cleaning baths and sweet plants to harmonize the body and energy. This is a space to release, unload what weighs and recharge from the natural force of the environment. Each experience is lived with only one to four people, which makes it intimate, familiar and deeply personalized.
