Our journey began in early 2023, when the unique energy of Montefuego inspired us to turn our dream into reality. We knew this was the perfect place to bring our vision to life.
Montefuego is a sanctuary we’ve longed to create—a space where you can disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and our carefully chosen guests. Here, you’ll find the comfort of home, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and awe-inspiring views.
It is our heartfelt pleasure to welcome you to this special retreat.
Warm regards,
Juan Carlos Menacho & Richard Van Der Veer
Montefuego is a retreat nestled at the top of a mountain, offering the perfect place to relax and immerse yourself in a refreshing, invigorating atmosphere. With a variety of activities available year-round, we are conveniently located just 12 minutes from Samaipata, Bolivia.
At Montefuego, our mission is to offer a sanctuary of well-being at the summit of Samaipata, where every visitor can reconnect with themselves and nature. We are committed to providing transformative experiences that promote peace, balance, and harmony in an environment that respects and celebrates the local ecosystem.
To be the preferred and recognized destination at both national and international levels for those seeking to reconnect and break free from routine, while always maintaining a high standard of quality in all our services.
We consider ourselves a family that strives for constant improvement, made up of our permanent team and collaborators. We pursue excellence through training and open communication with our guests and the Samaipata community.
One of MONTEFUEGO’s core values is to consider the development of our activities while positively promoting the economic, social, and environmental conditions in our surrounding community.
Committed to the environment, we strive to continuously improve our impact measurement systems. That’s why we chose prefabricated modules for our construction design, which results in a smaller ecological footprint, contributing to better conservation and preservation of the area’s biological diversity. We also focus on raising awareness and educating about water and energy conservation, as well as reducing and recycling solid waste.
We aim to support local producers and collaborators who practice sustainable use of raw materials and services that positively influence the prosperity and development of the local community.
