It is one of five World Centres of WAGGGS; the others being Our Chalet in Switzerland, Sangam in India, Pax Lodge in England and Kusafiri in Africa.

5 acres of land were purchased at 25,000 dollars with the help of Girl Scouts of the USA through their Juliette Low World Friendship Fund.

A swimming pool, campfire circle, camping areas, volleyball and tennis courts and accessibility ramps were added in later.

The red roots underneath the tree symbolize the solid foundation and continual life of WAGGGS and its members.

The blue drop emerging from the side of the tree possess two meanings, communication between Our Cabaña and the local community and between Girl Guides and Scouts Worldwide as well as being an Aztec symbol of life used to demonstrate that life is flowing in the Girl Guiding and Scouting movement.

Each dorm room is named after a flower found on the grounds, including Tulipanes (tulips) and Rosas (roses).
