the jungle prologue
Nosotros has been quietly unfolding since 2020 in Playa Maderas, Nicaragua. The transformation of a dormant 4 acre plot of land into a finca devoted to dialogue around giving food scraps a second life, regenerating soil, living by the tides, and sharing time in nature with people who were once strangers. Simply this, has opened the door to a new kind of hospitality. We start to assemble a community of creatives, farmers, writers, artists, ocean lovers, wave catchers, and happy humans whose ideas summon to be aligned with nature-first; not a pit stop for the conventional, but rather a total reimagined meaning of values for living, being, and working through the re-creation of space.
In times of wavering uncertainty, we dare to be slowed. Not a mere reposition from societal normalities, but an altered state of being, intentional and cultivated with the sensitivity to the transience of time. We succumb to cycles of muddled havoc, by breaching deep reflections, allowing the space for repurposing insights, food, land, time, and space - the things that keep us whole. Nosotros braves the ordinaries, embraces the imperfect, the strange and the raw. Not the conventional supermarket bought bananas that have traveled further than we ever did, but the sweetest, the unaltered, the ones that bend the tree a bit further than expected to let you know they are ripe.

the founders
Chris & Victoria
After traveling through much of Central America, Chris and Victoria put down roots in Playa Maderas in 2019 - enjoying the simplicities of surf, soil and community as a part of their every day life.
Chris and Victoria have a passion for the natural way of things, working and living with nature rather than against, helping the process of soil preservation through permaculture. For years, Victoria had a non-profit organization working with local off-grid communities, those detached from social structures, utilizing trash and natural resources as a source of opportunity and alternative income for women and teenage girls. Needless to say, their relation for local community is a cornerstone of their everyday in Nicaragua and the hospitality of.
Together, with their daughter Nefeli, three dogs - Yogi, Maxi, and Pablo, and a rotating cast of animals - from chickens to kinkajous - they have created home from the ground up and invite you to be a part of it.
