From the Zapotec gusulú
1. beginning, start The Zapotec people were born in the clouds in the form of birds and scattered after hearing music. Their creator gods became moons, stars, and the sun. We were all equal, the perfect balance between humans and nature, connected to our origins, to the beginning of everything.
This is Monte Uzulu, the experience of being mindful. We are part of nature, and we want to honor the earth and water as fundamental elements. We want to become invisible so we can observe the beauty of the environment in harmony, knowing that our actions improve and protect it, but above all inspire each visitor to transform the way they relate to the world. The future is today, and only by generating the common good can we change the planet, one traveler at a time. This hotel was born out of our love for the Oaxacan coast, and we want you to be part of this experience.
The jungle that surrounds us is thousands of years old, which is why we have respected all the trees during construction and passed by them to allow them to continue growing. The natural resources of San Agustinillo allowed us to design spaces that are in balance with nature. All the wood is local, and the finishes on our walls are made of earth and lime. We also respect local regulations on height and the maximum square meters of green areas free of construction. We have developed a system to reuse 100% of the water we consume, and we have rainwater harvesting to take advantage of the benefits of rain and biodegradable soaps that are friendly to your skin and the earth. We believe that in this way, we insert ourselves into the water cycle and let it flow without interfering. This project was commissioned to Taller LÚUM, a firm specializing in working hand-in-hand with artisan groups throughout Mexico, of which we are very proud. Taller LÚUM collaborated on this project with four artisan groups, as well as Mariana Ruíz from AT-TE for architecture and project management, Paola José from Sombra for lighting, Valentina Deffis for finishes, and Tiago Pinto de Carvalho for the conceptual design. Templo Oaxaca, a specialist in biodigesters; Edgar Ludert, a graphic designer who developed all the branding; and local builders to create a coherent, conscious, and unique place. Each suite has a terrace with a privileged view of the Pacific Ocean and the Oaxacan jungle.

UZULU
From Zapotec gusulú 1. start, beginning The Zapotec people were born in the clouds in the form of birds and dispersed after hearing music; their creator gods became moons, stars, and the sun.
