Hacienda La Concepcion

Aguirre, Venezuela



Discover Your Perfect Retreat Property

Hacienda La Concepción is a 50-hectare eco-development and agricultural hub dedicated to promoting a green, conscious way of life. Our mission is to encourage living in harmony with nature, helping individuals reconnect with their true selves as part of the natural world. We honor all life and promote peaceful coexistence with nature.

By reducing outside distractions, we create space to focus on the present and connection to life.

The approach of Holistic Medicine is not complex; in fact, it's relatively simple. It is based on the fact that we all suffer from a certain degree of intoxication and malnutrition, accumulate unmet needs, stress, unresolved conflicts and traumas, have poor lifestyle habits, and are likely unaware of our spiritual reality and unaware of our life purpose.

The Property in Depth


Since 1989…

      Hacienda La Concepción houses all the facilities of a health center and the comforts of a spa hotel. It also offers a wide range of medical therapies provided by a multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Efrain Hoffmann.

      Hacienda La Concepción has become a meeting place, a place of rest and recreation for those who want to rejuvenate their minds, bodies, and spirits in the shade of 50 hectares of a magnificent and exotic ethnobotanical garden with a wide variety of tropical plants from Venezuela and other countries around the world.

      Hacienda La Concepción is a 50-hectare eco-development and agricultural production center that promotes a green lifestyle. In addition to the Hoffmann Holistic Health Clinic and the Hotel-Spa , the site also houses the Hoffmann Holistic Health Foundation (FHSI) Permaculture School , the Dr. Otto Hoffmann Holistic Training Academy , and the Venezuelan-German Institute of Applied Ecological Sciences.

      In a formidable contrast between ancient walls, plant vaults, and cobblestone paths, Hacienda La Concepción offers visitors the most modern equipment and facilities: picturesque churuatas and cabins with colonial entrances and plazas, connected by winding stone walkways flanked by an extraordinary ethnobotanical garden of ancient trees; two ceremonial temples and a beautiful ecumenical chapel; steam rooms, a sauna, outdoor jacuzzis, a large heated pool, and a comprehensive beauty salon; inviting therapeutic spaces and a fully equipped gym with daily aerobic and cardiovascular activities, in addition to body and mind training through the use of weights, machines, and various psychophysical exercises designed to satisfy all tastes.

      All plans offered at Hacienda La Concepción include unlimited access to the spa facilities, as well as exercise classes and activities such as mountain hikes, biking, walking, and daily meditation practice. Also included are three daily meals prepared by creative chefs who have created a delicious vegetarian menu featuring an abundance of tropical fruits and natural ingredients grown in the Hacienda's gardens.

      And for those who wish to explore and experience the spectacular natural scenery of this region of the country, guided tours are arranged from La Concepción upon request. Some destinations include Morrocoy National Park, the Sorte Sanctuary, the Trincheras hot springs, the beaches and islands of Patanemo, and Hacienda Montero. Tour packages are also available for international visitors, combining other national destinations such as Mérida, Canaima, the Gran Sabana, Margarita Island, and more.
