Refugio Colmena las Mariolas

Jungle Paradise

Refuge Colmena las Mariolas consists of more than 100 hectares of primary and secondary forest that has managed to survive thanks to the permanent effort for more than 25 years of the Alfalit Association, an integrated group by people permanently committed to contributing to the conservation of the forests in the region. You can stay support our work by visiting our refuge on vacation, for research or retreats.

Mariolas

Its name mariolas is symbolic, the mariolas are small bees that produce exquisite honey and have no stinger and therefore do not stings. Without bees there is no pollination, there is no agriculture, there is no food, there are no animals, there is no human life. Naturally, the farm promotes the life of bees and their hives, when climate change and the overuse of pesticides threatens life on the planet.
