    Description

    We are the nomadic family of El Bicho Latino. After touring Latin America for 17 years we made a stop in Chiapas. We are working a small piece of land to sow and plant our food in a small community of 40 hectares, of which 20 hectares is a preserved forest in the middle of the mountains, 1 hour and a half from San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas. We have caves, forest, peace and many kind of birds but no phone señal or internet connection. We look for people who gives us a hand to build a new sustentable healthy life.
