We are working to establish an urban and edible garden, starting to grow cacao, corn and vegetables, a greenhouse forest nursery, orchid farm with a project with native bee hives (meliponas) and beekeeping activities including hive manegment and harvest wax and honey.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There are cenotes nearby, 25 minutes from the city and the beaches, and there are surrounding villages and archaeological sites. We're a bit removed from civilization, but there's no public transportation. There's limited electricity and no Wi-Fi. Data and phone service is available, but it's not very stable.
