Agrotourism from the Plateau
With 40 years of history and over a thousand members, the Cooperative Joya Hermosa, located 4km from El Unicornio Azul, in the K’iche village of Climentoro, it is a true benchmark in the region. Their work in the conservation and valorization of agro diversity, good agricultural practices and reforestation will fascinate to all those who are interested in agricultural reality, rural life and cooperativism.
In an approximately two-hour tour, representatives of the Cooperative will share gladly with you their history, the potato production project (seeds and consumption), including a single “clonal garden” with the 36 varieties of potatoes native to the region, as well as the seed bank with more than 150 varieties of creole corn ! Completing this different and enriching experience, you shall not miss the visit to the house of one of the associates to learn more about the livestock project with the raising of lambs, llamas and alpacas!
