I really wish I could have spent more time there because everyone is just so amiable and welcoming. Compared to Oaxaca, it’s also much more quiet and relaxing. We were here just after the 15 de Enero celebration and there were still decorations up… so beautiful! It feels like a mini-spanish-speaking Burlington there; it was very centered around community and including everyone, even foreigners, into the culture. I really hope more people are able to visit Oaxaca and its surrounding villages because it’s just so cool! Thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of the winter! We’re really missing it here -Sarah L.

I went there a few times when I was a little girl, but never really visited the community or spent some time with them until last June, when the school had a party to celebrate the gardening project they have been working with.
Thanks for sharing your experience… you made me think that I should stay there, maybe living with a local family for at least couple days
