Frequently Asked Questions

Resolve your doubts about Ex-Convent of the Desert of the Lions: The whisper of the forest

"Wilderness" was the Carmelite term for places of solitary retreat. "Leones" refers to the León family that administered the lands in colonial times.
It is an enclosure designed with physical acoustics where sound travels through the vaults; If you whisper in one corner, it can be heard perfectly in the opposite corner.
It is projected as a Wellness and Ecotourism Hub for visitors seeking to escape the density of stadiums, offering "Forest Mystique" routes with reinforced security.
Yes, it is common to see migratory birds, opossums and squirrels. In deeper areas of the forest, white-tailed deer and coyotes live under federal protection.

The soul of this experience

The Desert of the Lions is not a place of sand, but a refuge of life and contemplation. For Space Journey, this node is the manifesto of the “Architecture of Peace”: a space where volcanic stone and forest merge to silence the noise of the outside world. It’s a Solarpunk lesson in the resilience of heritage and the importance of protecting the green lungs that sustain urban life, reminding us that true luxury is silence and fresh air.

What will you find along the way?

Descend along the cobbled paths that surround the main cloister. The temperature drops while the aroma of humid earth and pine resin envelops you. Enter the Chapel of Secrets; experience its unique acoustics whispering in one corner to be heard in the opposite. Explore the meditation cells and inner gardens where monks practiced self-reliance. We recommend walking to the catacomb area to feel the weight of history under your feet and then going out into the forest to watch the fog filter through the centuries-old fir trees.

Security level

Level: Safe (Natural Park). The national park has rangers, but it is recommended not to leave the main trails after 4 PM. Bring warm clothing (thermal) as the temperature is usually 10°C lower than in the city and fog is frequent.

Accessibility and mobility

Grade: Silver. The convent has access ramps in main areas, although there are uneven levels, stone stairs and narrow corridors in catacombs that make transit difficult in a heavy wheelchair. Assistance is recommended for exterior gardens.

Golden Spot Tips

The Whisper of the Chapel. Head to the Chapel of Secrets at 12:00 PM. If the forest fog enters through the windows, the visual effect is mystical. It is the perfect time to test the acoustics and feel the vibration of historical silence.
