Jaguar

Aguila

Conejo

Coyote

Cinco/Jaguar

Jaguar is one of the most important and powerful spirit animals across all of the prehispanic cultures of Mexico. The jaguar is often linked with the underworld, the night, and the mysteries of death and rebirth. In Oaxaca, the Zapotecs believed that the jaguar had the ability to traverse the boundaries between the physical world and the spiritual realm, and was of great spiritual and ceremonial importance. An apex predator and second to no other creature except humans, jaguar was the lord of the mountain jungles of Oaxaca.

Fittingly, Jaguar features the best views available in Las Almas. Take in sweeping panoramic view from your floor to ceiling windows over the trees and hilltops, towards the dark blue Pacific from the comforts of your bed or your reading nook.

Seis/Aguila

Like the jaguar, the eagle was venerated by all prehispanic cultures of Mexico. For the Zapotecs, the eagle represented bravery, power, and good fortune. If the jaguar is the symbolic guide and protector of the night, the earth, and the underworld, the eagle represented the sun, the heavens above, and the day.

Enjoy your eagle eye view from floor to ceiling windows, gazing over the treetops towards the Pacific Ocean in the distance as well as the hills surrounding Las Almas.

Siete/Conejo

The rabbit represents fertility and abundance and is closely associated with the moon across many of Mexico’s pre-hispanic cultures. The rabbit is considered one of the most auspicious spirit animals in Zapotec tradition, and they believed you could observe the rabbit in the moon. The Maya often depicted their goddess of the moon holding a rabbit, while the Aztecs associated the rabbit with the god of pulque and intoxication- perhaps why you will often see the rabbit featured in graphic design for mezcal and tequila labels.

A lovely copal tree just outside the floor to ceiling windows frames a partial view of the Pacific.

Ocho/Coyote

People with a coyote toná are said to be tenacious and clever. Regarded as a great teacher, coyote was venerated for its adaptability and cunning as well as its innate intelligence. The Aztecs called the coyote Huēhuecoyōtl, which means “very old coyote”. Coyotes were a symbol of astuteness, worldly wisdom, pragmatism, male beauty, and youthfulness

Featuring expansive views over the mountians and trees towards the Pacific and Punta Cometa, Coyote is located closest to our palapa bar and pool.
