The experience

We are located at the very peak of the Sierra Madre del Sur, in the historic town of San Mateo Rio Hondo. In the last decades, we have transformed our family's home into a beautiful and rustic inn. The name means 'Rio de Arena' in Zapotec, and it is the old name of this community.

We cultivate respect for the Oaxacan culture and the magnificent nature that surrounds us.

Program Details

Nos enfocamos en el buen servicio, una atmósfera tranquila, y el bienestar de nuestros huéspedes.

Los bosques de San Mateo Rio Hondo son parte de un sistema ecológico único en el mundo. La alta cordillera de la Sierra Madre del Sur recibe mucha lluvia, creando una diversidad natural de tremendas proporciones en un clima semi-alpino. Como Mexicanos, el patrimonio natural que representa esta enorme diversidad merece todo nuestro cuidado y atención.

En 1987, la Posada se convirtió en un pionero ecológico en México al instalar uno de los primeros sanitarios de composta estilo 'Clivus Multrum' en Oaxaca. Los deshechos humanos son compostados y usados para fertilizante de arboles de una manera saludable y con mínimo impacto ecológico.

Tenemos ya muchos años de experiencia con este sistema.
