Any Cool Permaculture Sites In The Yucatan?

Hey guys.

I'm currently in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and just wondering if there are any cool permaculture farms in this area. In particular, I'm interested in tropical fruit growing. Any suggestions?

Would be greatly interested in anything the permies community could point me to I'm really struggling to find any milpas to visit while I'm there this month

I'm going to be in Yucatan for a few days in May and came here looking for insights on this question, so I'll reply to bump rather than start a new topic. Any one got recommendations of can't miss sites?

And also https://www.facebook.com/groups/1441168369510743/   Facebook is very widely used in Mexico because the principal cell service provider made a deal with meta so Facebook and Whatsapp use is unlimited in all data plans.

Enjoy your trip!

Fantastic ideas. Thank you!

Hi, I'm currently building a small off-grid permaculture homestead in the jungle in Playa del Carmen. Right now it’s one big room built with concrete block, surrounded by raw jungle terrain. No kitchen or bathroom yet - those are the next steps. I'm working with a local architect and local contractor (everyone speaks Spanish, not English). If you'd like a chance to shape a blank-slate project from the ground up, or if you want to practice your Spanish, it could be a good fit. Otherwise, we could connect later when it's more developed (for example, the bathroom should be done in about 6 months). I'm going slow, but I'm getting there! haha.

That sounds fantastic! Though I don't have any immediate plans to be in the Yucatan Peninsula, I do hope to return in the future. Mind if I add you on FB?
