Menta · Polvo de Luz Cabins

The Menta cabin is designed for two people seeking peace and quiet. It has a double bed and a full bathroom. Inside, we have a coffee maker for your use and, as a courtesy, we offer coffee from the Pluma region. The semi-private terrace is designed for you to spend a day reading, meditating, sleeping or simply contemplating the tranquility of a place that is away from noise, pollution and everyday hustle and bustle. The space Menta is a mud cabin that uses a millennial construction method by which it is built using natural materials from the region, creating a less invasive space and more integrated into the semi-rural environment of the small ranch that houses the Cabañas Polvo de Luz, a peaceful place located in the small community of Rojas de Cuauhtémoc, 30 minutes from downtown Oaxaca, ten from the El Tule tree and five from the international highway that leads to the Mezcal Route, Teotitlán, Tlacolula, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and many other beautiful places. It's a place where the predominant sounds are the birds that visit us or the meowing of street cats that come at certain times to receive food. You will find mats for lying on the lawn, a hammock for relaxing, and tables for writing. We want you to disconnect your mind and enjoy the inner and outer silence during your stay. Your host, a retired man from the design and publishing industry, is now a guardian of ancestral knowledge and a practitioner of traditional Mexican medicine, offering alternative therapies and healing. In collaboration with other neighbors, she also offers a beautiful and purifying temazcal ceremony, relaxing massages, and spiritual and energy cleansings. (Availability must be checked, and reservations must be made one week in advance.) Guest access Cabaña Menta is located on a small property that also includes our little house, where a couple – your hosts – and two kittens live. There are also two other cabins on the same property. Several cats from the street come to the farm, and we gladly feed them. Other things to note It is a small town of 1,000 inhabitants, services are limited, including the internet, we have a signal but it is not optimal, sometimes slow and intermittent. The access road to the property is not paved, but it is uniform and easily accessible. Public lighting is very dim. As it is a rural town, there are still houses with farms and stables where there are animals such as roosters, chickens, cows, sheep, pigs, horses, donkeys, mice, and so on. So it is not uncommon for the natural sounds and smells of these to reach the property. Although the bed has a mosquito net, it is important to consider the presence of insects: mosquitoes, flies, ants, bees, wasps and spiders are frequent, less frequent are bees and scorpions.
