About us

This beautiful retreat was born out of a love for nature and family tradition. Inspired by his childhood, surrounded by gardens, animals, history, and culture in his backyard, the founder dreamed that his children could grow up with the same connection that he and his brother once shared. After living abroad for several years, he returned to Roatán and, with that desire in mind, decided to build a small space where his children could learn the value of caring for the nature around them.

He asked his friend Leo to help him build a cage for some animals, but Leo urged him to do something bigger: open the doors of that paradise and share it with others, reminding him that this place had always been a source of admiration. From its inception, the house was a landmark in the community. Inspired by those words, the founder shared the idea with his brother, who did not hesitate to join the project. Thus, it was born. La Hacienda del Cielo, a family-friendly space that combines a Interactive Farm, a Cultural Market, and an Arbotero, designed to reconnect with nature, honor our traditions, and celebrate the spirit of community.

The roots of what is now *La Hacienda del Cielo* are deeply embedded in the island. His maternal grandparents, descendants of foreign families who arrived in Roatán, inherited the land where the Hacienda is located, in the community of **French Cay**. His mother, Julie Dixon, guardian of the island's memory and flavor, where together with his father, Amílcar Guerra, they formed a home full of purpose. Amílcar is the one who, with love and vision, planted each of the trees that today offer shade and life to the place.

Every branch, every fruit that grows, is testimony to a legacy of respect for nature that has been passed down from generation to generation. Today, it is his sons Colby and Chester Guerra who want to showcase this living space where nature, culture, and family are celebrated, cared for, and shared with pride.
