Becoming Sacro Cactus

Sacro Cactus didn’t appear overnight. It was shaped—slowly, lovingly—over years of vision, labour, and devotion. We restored, rebuilt, planted, carried stones, and dreamed this sanctuary into being.
These photos tell the story of that journey: the land as we found it, the work we poured into it, and the transformation that unfolded through our hands and those of the artisans who joined us.
Staying here means staying in a place crafted with intention, patience, and love.
