CENTRO TIERRA CABINS
Sierra Gorda Cabins
Located only 1 kilometer from the center of Jalpan de Serra, Sierra Gorda Cabins were built using bio-construction techniques and materials such as mud, palm, and straw-bales in order to minimize the ecological footprint that is generated through construction, as well as later, when the building is inhabited. Furthermore, these locally-sourced materials provide excellent insulation against the elements.
Rincón de Ojo de Agua Cabins
The Rincon de Ojo de Agua eco-cabins are located in the community of San Juan de los Durán, a 1.5-hour drive from Jalpan de Serra. They are surrounded by oak and pine forests characteristic of the Sierra Madre Oriental.
The community is located far from urban areas and, due to its elevation of 1200 meters, enjoys a temperate climate for the majority of the year.
