Cooperativa Los Higuerones
‘Promoting better economic, social, cultural and environmental alternatives for the OSA community’. 



Welcome to Los Higuerones!...We are a community hub that invites people to come together and connect in ways that celebrate equity, biodiversity, and culture in the Osa. Beyond a community hub, we are a project incubator that initiates and nurtures projects that provide accompaniment of local farmers, producers and artisans in the fortification of a local economic system. Over the last 4 years we have set up multiple projects that are strengthening the community ties and sense of solidarity among the local community. These projects are now looking for resources to expand their impact. 



‘Our approach begins with building trusting relationships that facilitate accompaniment and mutual respect. This lays the foundation to initiate and incubate the projects that directly answer to the needs of locals and can be spun off to the hands of the local people over time.’



Besides our community projects, the spaces of Los Higuerones itself are living examples of how we can live more harmoniously within our natural environment. The non-built areas of the property have grown from bare patches of dirt to abundant permaculture inspired gardens for food, fertility, and fancy. In addition…the built space has been curated into a multi-use “campus” with spaces for workshops, classes, meetings, gatherings and the like as well as accomodations for hosting work-traders, special visitors and groups of people focused on support for our Osa community.
