The community of Huehuecóyotl (""The Old Coyote"") was established in 1982 in the mountains of the Sierra del Tepozteco. It is considered a pioneering ecovillage in Mexico and Latin America. Its history is tied to a nomadic group composed of individuals from various disciplines and nationalities who, after 17 years of traveling, decided to settle down and create a lifestyle modeled on ecology, the arts, and alternative living systems.
In Huehuecóyotl, housing is developed using eco-construction techniques. As a group of environmental activists, its members have been forerunners throughout Latin America in areas such as permaculture, bioregionalism, group decision-making facilitation, sociocracy, and educational workshops. The ecovillage serves as a hub for education and learning, benefiting both its residents and countless visitors. This episode tells the story of some of its founding members.
