About.

Ilatán is an association and a group of people that manages a forested area on the mountains of Northern Tenerife. Here we work on regenerating the surrounding ecosystem, producing food, and living in a joyful and relaxed way. There is also space for more people to join us in sharing and enjoying this place.

Our work in this ecosystem started only 5 years ago, which we have devoted to regenerating our environment and adapting to it, slowly establishing a food forest that integrates both edible and native trees - with a few hundred already planted and thousands more growing in our nursery - to complete the reforestation of the pace under our care, which is close to a hectare.

The human side of the project is close to a traditional village, where some shared spaces for socializing are available, but most of the time we each live our own lives - knowing the rest are there if we need them. Intimacy, personal space and natural day-to-day communication are priorities for us, rather than planning constant structured meetings and community activities (in pop culture terms, Ilatán looks more like a mountain retreat than a hippie commune). Our long-term vision is for this place to hold a multi-generational extended family, so we are open to receiving people of all ages.
