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 Sancristobal de las Casas. Chiapas. Once a week we go to Sancristobal and take the opportunity to bring and bring volunteers and connect online.
