ABBA Park: Workshops and Camp Stays

ABBA Park offers workshops on cheese-making and tortilla-making. Another workshop focuses on adobe bricks. The topics therefore range from food to a building material, with a variety of hands-on activities. If you are interested in workshop offerings as well as scenic landscapes, the park provides a distinct focus for your trip.

The offerings also include recreational camps in mountain cabins or tents. ABBA Park describes candlelight, warm campfires and starry nights as part of its ecotourism experience. Alongside the nature reserve, workshops and camp stays are other aspects that define the centre.
