Chacala's Techos de Mexico Program (budget rentals)

TECHOS DE MEXICO RENTALS IN CHACALA

Techos de Mexico www.techosdemexico.com is a local organization helping Chacala families build nice income-generating tourist rental units. The concept was developed by Jose Enrique De Valle, owner of Majahua, a small resort in Chacala. Participant families are chosen on the basis of resources and other criteria similar to the Habitat for Humanity program. Families are offered loans, volunteer labor, and training and support, in order to built and run a small rental business in Chacala.

The units are rented by the day, week, or month, or year-round. Techos de Mexico rental units have private entrances with secure doors. All units have tiled floors, nice tiled baths with hot water showers, screened windows with glass, and ceiling or free-standing fans. Some Techos rental units have kitchens and all have patios or terraces. Most units have two double beds.

Currently six (listed below) of the eight families with Techos de Mexico rental units are offering their units for rent. All contact information is provided on the post "List of Chacala Rentals with Photos" above.

There are also other affordable rentals in Chacala built independently, by families living in Chacala. These include Mirador, Maria Jose, Casa Chacala, Antonio's, Casa Chacala Annex, and Soccoro's. They are also shown on the first post of this blog. The more expensive, but locally built and owned small hotels in Chacala include Majahua, and Mar de Jade.

Most of the other rentals in Chacala are owned and operated by people from Las Varas, Tepic, Guadalajara, and the U.S.

Contact information for these units is listed at right above this post, on the "List of Chacala Rentals" post. Or email alatawah@gmail.com for further information.
