The orange grove is imbued with the most refined sense of jungle aesthetics - from the drape of bougainvillea to the gold fish in the bathroom.

Thank you Yelapa, with your jungled eyes watching the sea. Thank you for showing us the Tres Marietas where Blue-Footed Boobies watch us unalarmed. Thank you for your foot-worn soil and your tiny hard-stocked shops.

Thank you, Los Naranjos, cradle of orange trees, crimson bougainvillea, ripening bananas. Thank you for your nourishing breeze, the call of the macaw, the fluttering cloud of butterflies.
The main palapa holds our hearts and feeds our bodies with exquisite food, lovingly prepared.
Thank you April and Jarrett, for knowing, for listening to what the land is asking you to do.
Thank you for creating a place where the divinity in all living things shines like the stars over Yelapa Bay.
