Natural building with bamboo & earth

Two days of hands-on natural building for the tropics: harvesting and treating bamboo, joinery, foundations that survive 13 feet of rain, and earth plasters.

$150 · per person · meals included 2 days up to 10

We are always building something on the mountain. Join a real build for two days and learn how to harvest and treat bamboo, cut basic joints, set posts that will not rot, and finish walls with earth and lime plasters that breathe.

You will learn

  • Bamboo harvesting & borax treatment
  • Basic joinery & lashings
  • Foundations & roofs for heavy rain
  • Earth & lime plasters

Make it a full day on the mountain

Pair this with a farm tour, a meal from the garden or a night in Casa Poco Mas Sol.
