Housing for Interns:
Interns live together in two communal houses. Rooms are dorm-style with bunk beds and shelving. The housing is rustic and basic, yet comfortable. We have mosquito nets, but ask that you bring your own net as well as sheets (twin bottom, top and pillow case). Interns can also bring a tent to camp in a designated area if they prefer.
We also have private rooms available for an addition fee upon request.
Like the sleeping quarters, much of what we do and have at Punta Mona is communal in nature. We eat meals together, cook in teams, work on projects in teams, and we share bedrooms/living spaces. This makes for a great sense of community and inspiring discussions!
