Who we are •

We created a permacultural designed place called Casa Naatik, a demonstrative space for a sustainable life, with ecofriendly techniques, organic agriculture and surrounded by beautiful nature.

Lush tropical garden with various green plants, including cactus and papaya trees, under a clear blue sky.
