    Description

    Hi there, We are a family (twelve between parents and siblings) of this very unique and beautiful city called Zacatecas. As a family we are try to develop an eco-community village. Our project is developing at the comunity of San Ramón at 15 minutes driving from the city of Guadalupe y 20 minutos de Zacatecas in Mexico. Zacatecas is a small and colonial town.
    Now days que are working on a development of a sustainable commmunity throw the development of permaculture construction and activities that help to have tursim on nature. We are trying to be friendly with the environment so we would like to learn more about permaculture.
    We work together in our own way, since we've found out that this way of working and farming is good for ourselves, the environment, and the people is around us we would love for our community to adopt this life style.
    We also love to meet new people, share experiences and we enjoy bohemian nights where people is welcome to sing, play aany instruments, dance, play board games but we don´t accept drugs because we are working in family enviroment.

    Que tal, Nosotros somos familia de 12, que vivimos en la original y hermosa ciudad llamada Zacatecas. Como familia estamos tratando de hacer un desarrollo de eco aldea. El proyecto se está generando en la comunidad de San Ramón a 15 minutos de distancia de manejando de la ciudad de Guadalupe y 20 minutos Zacatecas, Zacatecas, México ( una pequeña ciudad colonial con mucha historia).
    Actualmente estamos tratando de hacer en la comunidad un destino turístico promoviendo la permacultura y turismo alternativo nos interesa mucho la construcción con materiales que nos ofrece la naturaleza como lo es el adobe y la piedra, porque tratamos de ser más amigables con el medio ambiente así que nos gustaría aprender más sobre permacultura y al mismo tiempo mostrar enseñar lo que hacemos usando energías alternativas.
    Nosotros trabajamos juntos cada uno en lo que mejor sabe hacer, desde que descubrimos que este forma de trabajar y la granja es buena para nuestra persona, el medio ambiente y las personas que nos rodean, nos gustaría que la gente en la comunidad a través de nuestro trabajo se contagie de este estilo de vida.
    Nos gusta conocer gente, compartir experiencias, nosotros disfrutamos mucho las noches bohemias, donde las personas pueden cantar, tocar instrumentos, bailar, jugar juegos de mesa entre otros. Pero eso si no estamos abiertos al uso de drogas o sustancias que alteren el sistema nervioso central nos gusta el ambiente familiar sano.

    There are many activities that you could be doing, for example: help us rehabilitate spaces in the house using natural materials such as earth and straw in the opening of adobe walls, grow more endemic plants that help us reforest the area. We also need help with decoration of the bungalows but we like to do it with recycled stuff, painting, general maintenance, gardening or any good idea that you have to make the place better because we are interested in shaping up the community that we belong to.
