Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
San Cristobal de las Casas is a city that allows you to connect with the indigenous reality, at the same time it is the cultural capital of Chiapas with many possibilities for courses and workshops, experiences at a political, artistic and spiritual level. Our community is in network with many groups and organizations and allows us to maximize learning with other experiences. The workawayers will have the possibility of living inside the ecovillage, working, eating and living with the inhabitants of the village. These are educators, pedagogues, permaculturists, artists and this exchange will allow the volunteers to grow very deep personally and collectively.

Help
We need support for work in bioconstruction, ecotechnologies, agroecology and small interventions oriented towards permaculture. There may be physical help sometimes accompanied by members of the community and sometimes alone. Workawayers will have the opportunity to learn ecotechnologies in the areas of sanitation, water, energy and natural construction.
Necesitamos apoyo para trabajos de bioconstruccion, ecotecnias, agroecologia y pequeñas intervenciones orientadas a la permacultura. Puede haber trabajos físicos, a veces acompañados por miembros de la comunidad y a veces solos. Los workawayers tendrán la posibilidad de aprender ecotecnologias en ámbitos de saneamiento, agua, energía y construcción natural.

Accommodation is in a cabin with bunk beds, a dry bathroom, a kitchenette and a water heater. The community provides basic supplies (cereals, legumes, bones, vegetables and fruits) for preparing food. In some cases, meals are shared with the community, in other cases they will be autonomous.

What else ...
To get to the city you can take advantage of the ecovillagers' transport or walk 20 minutes to the public transport stop. There is an internal regulation of the ecovillage that contemplates the care of people and the environment since we live in a Nature Reserve. It is important to know that there are children living in the Ecovillage.
Para poder llegar a la ciudad se puede aprovechar del transporte de los ecoaldeanos o caminar 20min hasta la parada del transporte público. Hay un reglamento interno a la ecoaldea que contempla el cuidado a las personas y al medio ambiente ya que vivimos en una Reserva Natural. Es importante saber que hay infancias viviendo en la Ecoaldea.
