Streets

The rural community complex will have an organic perimeter fence, built with local stone and wire mesh, protected and hidden by thorny huizaches and maguey plants, creating a natural visual barrier that is practically impossible to cross.

 

The road will be built with tepetate from the region.

Road Progress

The cobblestone road project has made significant progress, using tepetate from the region as the main material.

 

This path not only improves access, but also integrates harmoniously with the natural environment, strengthening the connection between the community and its surroundings.

 

The choice of tepetate ensures durability and an aesthetic appearance that respects local identity.

Spring water

Discovering the origins of water at Rancho Santa Anita de Jalpa, we have traced its source to a spring located at the base of a majestic stone cliff.

 

This spring is not only a natural starting point, but it is also a perfect example of the power of gravity.

 

It is fascinating to learn how gravity guides water from the spring to our homes, a natural process that has been fundamental to human life for centuries.
