Naty Tataendy
With over a decade of experience studying and practicing the art of distillation and plant spagyrics, she is the founder and teacher at Laboratório-Escola Spagiros, currently the largest distillation school in Brazil, with more than 1,700 students across 24 countries.
She pioneered a medicinal agroforestry project in Brazil and worldwide at her Apuâ farm in Mantiqueira-MG, focusing on aromatic, fruit-bearing, and entheogenic species for distillation and spagyric preparations. Since then, she has implemented these systems in different parts of Brazil, Costa Rica (2018-19), Mexico (2019 and 2022), and Portugal (2022). In October 2020, she received an honorary mention for her work with medicinal agroforestry in the “Renewing Ideas: Planting Trees and Harvesting Food” competition, organized by WWE Brazil and Instituto Terra.
Her laboratory offers a wide range of distilled products from agroforestry systems, including essential oils, hydrosols, cosmetics, and other preparations. In addition to her agroforestry products, she developed a multifunctional alembic ten years ago, now sold in more than eight countries.

Feel at home in our cabañas
Where will you stay?
Nestled amidst majestic natural landscapes, five exclusive, eco-friendly cabañas, designed by a Swiss architect, and crafted from compressed earth and reclaimed wood, blend seamlessly with their surroundings.
Experience the perfect fusion of rustic beauty and modern refinement, where every detail has been carefully considered to ensure maximum comfort with minimal ecological footprint.

Each cabaña features a wood-burning fireplace, seating area, and private outdoor deck with a macrame hammock, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows offering full panoramic views of the gardens or the starry night skies (including great blackout blinds so you don’t have to rise with the sun… although we’d definitely recommend it).
