All the constructions that we have carried out have been with bioconstruction, using materials of the region and adapted to the climatic conditions of the place. We are in a tropical zone and the cabins are the best to rest, during the day are fresh and at night protect from the cold. We have hammocks and we have beds, you decide where to sleep. We offer breakfast. If you want to prepare your food for lunch and dinner we offer our kitchen. Sometimes we have ingredients of our crops, depend of the season.
We are 62.4km (approx. 3 hours by bicycle) northwest of archaeological sites such as: Uxmal, Kabah, Sayil, Labnah and the Lol-tun Caves.
