Over the past 6 years Los Higuerones has been actively engaged in fulfilling our mission of ‘Promoting better economic, social, cultural and environmental alternatives for the OSA community’. As a community hub we invite people to come together and connect in ways that celebrate equity, biodiversity, and culture in the Osa. We have also become a project incubator that initiates and nurtures projects that support solidarity and strengthen our community’s social fabric. Besides our community projects, the spaces of Los Higuerones itself are living examples of how we can live more harmoniously within our natural environment. The non-built areas of the property have grown from bare patches of dirt to abundant permaculture inspired gardens for food, fertility, and fancy. In addition…The built space has been curated into a multi-use “campus” with spaces used for workshops, classes, a weekly market and other gatherings as well as accommodations for people focused on for our Osa community
