The ecotourism destination in Rincón del Ojo de Agua in San Juan de los Durán (Jalpan de Serra, Querétaro) remains a popular place for university students seeking to have contact with nature. The vacations period from Saturday to Monday, March 13-15, facilitated the visit of 54 students and professors from the Iberoamerican University in Mexico City who occupied the entire eco-lodge and campaing area in order to hold their academic activities in the country and to have a meeting close to nature.
