A living example of how people and nature can thrive together. Imagine a place where you could live in a community of people who desire a slower pace of life, be close to nature and live rooted in everyday human connection. That is the vision Ecovilla brings to life. It began with La Ecovilla Original in 2012. In the heart of Costa Rica, a former cattle farm of 42 acres was transformed into a regenerated, edible forest and sustainable residential community. We believe that true community flourishes when we honor both our shared values and the natural world around us.
This is the first and original Ecovilla in Costa Rica, where Marcelo Valansi’s vision of a regenerative and life changing project became a reality since 2012.
La Ecovilla Original is home to 48 families from different nationalities all over the world, who live in harmony with nature and each other. What was once 42 acres of deforested land has been transformed into flourishing food forests, sustainable homes and shared community spaces, bordered by the magical Machuca river.
Today, La Ecovilla is an outstanding success story and internationally recognized as one of the most well-known eco-villages in the world, even featured on Netflix with Zac Efron.
Life here combines modern comfort with regenerative practices, creating a model of how sustainable living can look and feel. La Ecovilla shows that when community, nature and vision come together, true success is possible.
