Activities & Courses
Since its creation, El Zopilote has been dedicated to activities, courses, ceremonies, festivals, and gatherings, happening every day , morning, afternoon, and evening. Here you can join or even offer your own activities if you feel inspired. They are mainly for our guests, but also open to visitors from outside. Some are free, others have a cost — all are conscious and sustainable. We keep a big blackboard where everything is written daily, and activities are also shared on our social networks.
At Zopilote you never get bored, and you leave with many beautiful experiences.
