El Bosque village – little paradise in Mexico
A place somewhere in a warm country far away from traffic and stress. A place with nice people sharing the work, doing things together they really enjoy and thinking out of the box. Am I the only one here, or is this also something you sometimes dream about?
Here the good news: These places do exist. It might not be all that perfect as we dream it up in our minds.
Community life is not always easy and it’s more a life choice than paradise. But I’ve visited many places with interesting set ups. A group of people that lives up to permaculture principles and applies environmental solutions like Earthships & solar kettles that still seem very cutting edge to us. The El Bosque village is one of them.
The Bosque Village is a combination of a campground, a rustic retreat center, a permaculture farm, and a forming ecovillage. We love to share our space with visitors interested in sustainable tourism, ecovillage living, outdoor recreation, personal development and creative activities.
The great thing is that el Bosque is open for volunteers so you can experience for a period of time how it feels to live in such a place.
Have a look at the El Bosque group for more information.

This an amaizing iniative! There’s a similar place in Chile, too. It’s called: Ecoescuela El Manzano and it’s placed in Bio Bio, central south of Chile.
You should visit and enjoy its site: http://www.ecoescuela.cl
