Soulful Steps in the Forest
Many travelers choose to end the day (or spend the night) in one of La Marquesa’s rustic forest cabins — ideal for cozying up by the fireplace and unwinding off-grid. And for these unplugged, slow moments in nature, there’s no better travel companion than a pair of Espíritu huaraches.
Handcrafted for comfort, grip, and timeless style, our huaraches are made to move effortlessly from forest trails to cabin chill. In a place where everything slows down and the natural takes center stage, choosing footwear made with purpose and soul just feels right.
Because with every step, we carry a piece of who we are.
