The soul of Mazunte

Tree of life with the eight guardian tonas of Casa Las Almas

Rootedin theabundance,magic&creativityof thenatural world.

Mazunte derives its name from the Nahuatl phrase “maxotetia”, which roughly translates into “let me see you spawn” — a reference to the sea turtles that migrate to the area to lay their eggs. Mazunte is a place rooted in spirituality, and at the same time, connection to our natural world.

In that spirit, each of our casitas is named for a Zapotec tona — animal spirits that they believe protect you and guide you through this life and into the next. In Zapotec tradition, your tona is assigned at birth, and serves as both protector in our physical world, as well as our spiritual guide into the next.
