Eco-experience: The Bosque village in Mexico
The Bosque Village is an eco-tourist dream. It is a combination of camping, artistic retreat centre, permaculture farm and eco villages that give courses as well. It works sustainably without modifying the ecosystem and without the facilities of the city: they use rain water for most of its water needs, except for drinking, solar power or composting toilets. It is a living green place with outdoors entertainment, personal development and creative activities.
It is located in a remote area in the state of Michoacán, Mexico but close to the cities of Morelia, Uruapan and the magic village of Pátzcuaro. In the villages nearby there are a lot of manufacture products and crafts and you can also make a trip around while staying at The Bosque village to have more adventure and to have direct contact with the natives and to visit more rural areas. There are organised trips from The Bosque village to visit those traditional villages around.
This eco-village offers accommodation for campers from October through May but also you can think of staying in some nice cabañas. The facilities include a relaxing house designed by the artists that had been there, a sauna and two libraries with both fiction and educational books.
There are many activities you can do there from Yoga to Archery and you can also have courses and some workshops like meditation and yoga in the secular spiritual center called “centro Jobutsu” located there. There are a wide range of different courses from bread baking or paper making to cooking courses on how to make tortillas and salsas and also most of them are free!
After the staying you will learn a lot more about nature and what permaculture is. You will experience and learn about natural building, woodworking, planting, cooking, trail-making, renewable energy systems and many practical skills to live sustainable
