Eco Resilience is set in the remote landscapes of Arteara, Gran Canaria, where the UNESCO-protected Barranco de Fataga provides a breathtaking natural setting. Accommodation is shared, with one or two others per room, and meals are plant-based, prepared communally using local and seasonal ingredients. Our facilities include compost toilets, solar showers, and natural constructions, reflecting our commitment to sustainability.
Internet access is limited, encouraging participants to disconnect and fully engage with the land and community. While a public bus runs to the south of the island (20 minutes), the walking route takes almost four hours. The remote environment creates a unique opportunity for hands-on engagement with nature and for forming deep, lasting connections with fellow participants.
