At the bottom of the steepest hill on the property of La Choza del Mundo is a flat clearing, right at the edge of the jungle and close to the large waterfall. There is a trail leading to this spot, and approximately 40 Pau d’arco trees have been planted in this vacinity in July 2008.
In March 2008, there was a landslide in the jungle causing three hardwood trees to fall very close to this area. Also, in the same trip, we visited a traditional ‘Rancho’ in Zapaton, which is an open air structure and usually used for community meetings.
Construction
This area is envisioned to be the ‘Medicinal Area’ at La Choza, and as such is a great environment to create a Rancho out of the recently fallen trees next to ths site. Zapaton is an indigenous town in Costa Rica and only 7 kilometers away from La Choza del Mundo. There are many residents which have built Ranchos and are experts in thatched roofing.
This will be the first new structure at La Choza, and will be initially used for hammocks and work space below, and a basic wood floor and bedding area above.
