Our story is the heart of our identity, defining our present and future. It's the journey that has brought us to where we are today, shaping our decisions and challenging us along the way. At our resort, we honor and respect both those who came before us on this land and those who share this space with us every day.
We had a dream: to build a place where people can share, connect with nature, and honor the culture of our ancestors. And we also had a certainty: the beauty and magic of the place.
That's how our story began, although it wasn't easy at first: when nature has beautiful places, it tries to hide and protect them. Trucks couldn't make it up, and getting there was complicated, but we didn't give up. We knew that to access it, we would have to be perceptive and understand the messages that the Spirit of the Mountain sent.
Through a ritual performed by a shaman, the spirit revealed its story to us. In this case, the shaman used ingredients such as honey, sandalwood, and discovered, amidst a towering flame, that it was a "white spirit." It was a woman who told us that around the year 1600, during the conquest, pirates raided the place and killed the women. They justified it by saying that they were witches and that they had to be burned because otherwise they could cast a spell against the pirates. And when they did, the fire turned into a tiger that flew out, known in Conchagua as the "flying tiger."
The spirit revealed its story to us, and we shared our intention with it, our desire to build the lookout point. Then we received instructions: we would have to make offerings because we were invading a place intended for animals, not humans. We must offer fruits and, by doing so, make a request. This is something we explain to tourists when they arrive because if you make an offering and throw it onto the mountain, something will happen. Another request was the rescue of the Lenca culture, a replica of an ancestral structure located in the west of the country, in a pyramidal shape, housing the museum of the Lencas, where it explains how they lived, where they came from, and what they did. The spirit guided us in building this place through signals: by observing a snake shedding its skin on a stick and also by finding a lost tourist's drone; that way, we found the place where yoga is practiced today. In other places, it also gave signals, such as a line of sweat bees, leafcutter ants, and large signs where we built the structures that constitute the place today. That was something authentic and special, and the people who visit The Spirit of the Mountain feel the energy and heart that has been put into it from the moment of construction until today.
Nowadays, the people who visit the vacation resort feel a special energy and are interested in our history. They get excited, and when they leave here, they are not the same. Some have performed very significant acts of gratitude, such as placing a flag of The Spirit of the Mountain on Mount Everest. Other people made requests, and they were fulfilled. Otras personas realizaron peticiones y se les cumplieron.
