Stay with us in a Beautiful Forest close to the Beach

Basic Information
Nunkai is an eco-hostal located in La Punta, a surf village located less than a mile North of Montañita's downtown.
La Punta is where the first hippies arrived in the 70s and where surf started in the area. All neighbors are nature-loving people.
For that reason, La Punta is a beautiful forest, located right next to the Ocean, where the waves are. La Punta is the safest and most quiet part of Montañita.
Nunkai means "From the Earth" in Shuar language. Shuar is an Amazonian Nation that occupies part of Ecuador and Peru.

In Nunkai we say that we are a space for travelers seeking to expand their consciousness through contact with Culture and Nature.
Our cultural programming and the Vivencial Travel experiences we offer here seek to facilitate an experience of Culture.
And being able to see unspoiled spots in La Ruta del Spondylus, added to the fact that we are right in the middle of a forest, contribute to the experience of contact with Nature.
We are part of the World Movement in which companies are important actors in the Transformation of the World, through the positive impact of their Economic Activities.
Why Nunkai?
Nunkai = (Shuar) From Mother Earth
In Nunkai we say we are from the Earth because we revere our connection to Mother Earth, and feel at one with her.
Modern life tries to take us away from our human nature. Increasingly, being human is a challenge. We reiterate our identity as human beings, earthlings, with instincts, emotions and consciousness. We are free beings, and we do not accept the constant invasion of the human body with toxic substances. In the same way, we are defenders of the Earth against any attempt to depredate or exploit it. Awakened in our unity consciousness, we handle ourselves with respect and empathy in our interpersonal relationships and in our economy.
The art that comes to Nunkai must always serve a purpose of reconnection with life, with the essential, with the sacred. We bring the culture that comes from the cities, but we do not accept the urban-centric paradigm that associates land with underdevelopment. May the ideas discussed in this space serve to help awaken a consciousness of unity.
At Nunkai we are from Mother Earth because we try to be as coherent as nature between what we are and what we want to be. We are of the Earth because we honor our essence, and because we are one with the whole.
