We pass by the Teotitlan del Valle Tourist Yu’u every time we enter the village road making the turn off of the Panamerican Highway Mex 190.  It’s a comfortable-looking building, although we’ve never stopped to look inside.  To my recollection, I’ve never seen anyone stay there either.  But, I’m not yet a full-time, 100 percent village resident.  Because this particular yu’u is right at the crossroads of a very busy intersection, it doesn’t seem to be a desireable location.  Yet, from reading about them, I know this way of experiencing rural Mexico can be rewarding and affordable.  You can read more about the experience of staying in a Yu’u and how to make arrangements by reading this link to the New York Times travel section above.
