El Colibrí III - Crazy nights and lazy days...


There's a certain pace of life you have to enter if you wish to stay at the Hummingbird.  The ceremonies are full on and hectic events but the times in between, which make up the bulk of your stay, are for relaxation.  No work, shops, phones, television or internet which can send people crazy if they're not used to it.  To compensate, on offer is a chance to connect with the vibrant jungle surrounding you, not possible to do when constantly diverting the attention into the distractions of modern live.  If this is a step too far then you can ease yourself into a more peaceful state by talking with your companions, playing with the animals, reading from the extensive library or swimming in the lake.  Slowly, everyone settles and a collective calm descends.  A precious commodity in our modern world.
