This indigenous community has done well in protecting its native culture, language and habitat. Their land is one of the few natural, undeveloped remaining parcels in Valle de Guadalupe.

The Kumiai people have great respect for their land and harvest natural resources from it in a sustainable manner, using traditional methods handed down centuries ago.


Camping

The Kumiai community invites you to camping in their new campground located in a beautiful natural setting under an ancient grove of oak trees.

Fourteen campsites are provided with cooking grills, water, tables, with restrooms and showers nearby. Firewood is available and a small grocery store is located a few hundred yards from the campground providing basic supplies, convenience items, snacks and necessities.
