Gocta Lab provides living and working space in a spectacular location in the middle of the Peruvian high jungle. The nature and landscape around you is breath-taking and among other wonderful places is the iconic Gocta waterfall. The hosts have strived to build a great facility that combines art with crafts, agriculture, and mindfulness, and they continue to develop and add new branches to their exploration of the area. The hosts are well connected to the community around them and can connect you to amazing traditional crafters and all sorts of local wisdom. This is a residency in which you can disconnect from the urban pace, immerse yourself in nature and connect with a rural community.
