Mariposa Cultural Art & Retreat Center

Mariposa was designed by more than 80 international artists over the course of 15 years. It was founded on the conviction that art and culture are the roots of a tolerant and cosmopolitan society.

The result is a unique refuge that literally opens the eyes and sharpens the senses of its visitors through the diversity and variety of artistic ideas, allows contemplation and invites them to perceive and bring to light their own creativity. It sits 600 meters above sea level at the foot of a mountain known as Meseta de La Escalona.

Arona’s old town is small with a traditional atmosphere, cobbled streets, and architecture with great ethnographic value.There are great examples of traditional rural architecture, both public and stately.

Long, sandy beaches are 15 minutes by car. Close by is the “Hippy beach”, a hidden treasure with a stunning view of the colorful, volcanic cliffs and with wonderful sunsets.
