Eco-project Interns - regenerative agriculture, ecological restoration...
Food includedThe accommodation is basic for now but comfortable, camping outside or in the tiny casita. We have running water, a shower, solar panels and a wind generator/waterpump. We swim in the beautiful cenote on the property. We cook on a propane stove or over the fire. We have a composting toilet. We go into town weekly to shop for food and supplies. Cellular service is good and we recently got good internet! We are slowly expanding the variety of fruits and vegetables that we can get from the garden and food forest. We are designing the eco-center and building it ourselves so there are many eco-projects to be involved with and lots of opportunities to contribute.
There is a bus to Molas & mototaxi to the center or if we can time pickup to our weekly food run we can meet up.
See the website for various prices and details. We are 30 minutes from the city and shop weekly for food for everyone. Please give details as to your arrival and departure dates.
If this place touches your heart and you wish to make a donation to help us grow the center... for the next interns we would be grateful.
