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.
We are located in a remote area in the Mexican state of Michoacan, but close by are the cities of Morelia, Uruapan and the magical town of Patzcuaro. In local towns you will find excellent crafts and artisans, great weather, native Purépecha culture, activities, adventure, relaxation, and tasty cuisine. You can incorporate a long or short visit to the Bosque into your other travel plans.
Our facilities include a sauna, a rustic campground with camping spaces that are either deep in our magical forest or around other travelers, five cabanas, miles of trails for hiking, birdwatching, and observing wildlife, peaceful areas for yoga and meditation, composting toilets, solar panels to provide minimal power, a guesthouse for lounging, a solar hot water heater, and numerous gardens, a plant nursery, art studios and classes, large cisterns for water catchment, a telescope for stargazing and astronomy, fun dance parties, photography classes, a massage table, and the study of medicinal plants.
We are involved with reforestation, permaculture, alternatives to Burning Man, renewable energy and sustainable living. We have restored bird and butterfly habitat and by diversifying the forest will provide more habitats for other creatures who want to live with us.
We offer retreats for artists and writers, a volunteer program, natural building classes (cob, strawbale, and adobe), wood and stone carving, ethno-botony, Day of the Dead excursions and events during Semana Santa, and much more! Visiting gives you a chance to explore Mexico, permaculture, and rural areas while being a sustainable tourist.
