Since 2020, we’ve had the honor of welcoming guests to our breathtaking eco-sanctuary for retreats and short stays. Since last year, we’ve expanded into hosting weddings due to the overwhelming demand and glowing feedback from our guests. We even hosted our wedding on the grounds and since then have begun to allow a few other weddings in the space as well.
Templīs Aquaria didn’t begin as a wedding destination—it began as a vision for sanctuary.
Years ago, we found this wild, untamed land deep in the Puerto Rican mountains. There were no livable structures, no clear paths—just rivers, vines, and the hum of something ancient. It had been abandoned for over twenty years. No one wanted to buy it.
But we did.
Over time, we restored it with our hands: pouring foundations, planting gardens, bathing in waterfalls, and listening to the rhythms of the jungle.
What emerged was more than a homestead. It became a temple of love, healing, and intentional living.
We never planned to open it for weddings—until we had ours here. The space revealed its magic so fully that we knew: if the right people came, we would share it. And so, we began inviting in only those whose love felt truly aligned.
Since then, we’ve hosted only a small number of sacred celebrations. Each one unique. Each one heart-centered. Each one felt like a blessing woven into the fabric of the land.
We open this space to others not for profit, but to share something we believe is too exquisite to keep to ourselves—and to relive the joy through the happiness of others.
We don’t mean to be exclusive. But as stewards of the land and its animal residents, we must protect it. After all, this is our home.
We’ve cherished every celebration held here and feel immense gratitude watching the sanctuary transform with each couple’s vision.
