The Meaning of “Calanga”

The name “Calanga” can have several interpretations, including a type of reptile slightly larger than a gecko, a place where one can connect with water spirits, or a site for meditation. We prefer to embrace the idea of Calanga as a destination for “restful meditation.” Here at Calanga, we invite you to step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the natural world. Whether you choose to sail on the lake, explore the secluded beach, or simply soak in the soothing sounds of nature, our camp offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable getaway.
