Xilitla Magia
High in the misty mountains above Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, Xilitla Magia lives where the sky kisses the jungle and waterfalls weave through the forest like veins of memory. It is a place where time slows, and the land speaks. A sanctuary where artists, poets, seekers, and wanderers find themselves drawn into something deeper.
Here, nature’s abundance invites wonder. Orchids bloom beside ancient ferns, birdsong echoes through the trees, and the shifting light reveals new forms of beauty each day. Xilitla Magia is being lovingly shaped to welcome travelers from around the world who seek not only rest, but disconnect, reconnect, and tap into the abundant light that binds us all.
As we grow, we are nurturing this dream with care, supporting efforts to protect the region’s wildlife, restore its sacred watersheds, and to honor the wisdom of the land.
Finca Oasis Forest Preserve
The bottom-up approach to forest preservation and reforestation of over 1,500 acres at Finca Oasis creates a model for addressing the seemingly conflicting priorities of environmentalists and struggling farmers in similar.
The billions of trees that gave rise to Mexico’s eastern cloud forests pull water out of the ground and release it through their leaves gave rise to a “giant river in the sky” that keeps the forest wet and provides rain for the fertile crescent that spans much of the Gulf Coast.
Finca Oasis is located in Mexico’s at the northern edge of that crescent in the Eastern Sierra Madre mountains, and in one of the communal farming regions (ejidos) established after the Mexican Revolution.
