Company information

Our story begins in 2021 where the neccesity to continue traveling the world and the social isolation restrinctions provided us the opportunity to open our home to travelers while still respecting the rules set forth to protect global health. Casa Donaji was born as a Symbol of support and fraternity. Our home is named after the Zapotec princess, Donaji, who died with so much love for her community that she became a legend. As a result peace was established between the warring Zapotec and Mixtec people. We use her as inspiration to keep seeking peace, happines and the comfort of home. In Mexico, In Oaxaca, and In Casa Donaji, mi casa es su casa.
