"El Zopilote Permaculture Farm Hostel".
Dalai Lama
El zopilote is a hotel and a permaculture farm. Here cabins are all around the farm, so the farm is in the hotel; and the hotel is in the farm. Here you can see the permaculture farm with its edible forests, and it is an interesting task to recognize them all. Guests can know better the farm through the permaculture tour. This farm is different because the owners work with the nature (not against) and they spend a lot of energy to have a small ecological footprint on our planet. They recycle their garbage, they don´t use chemicals; they grow their own food.
