Saving Water - The water buckets in the guest rooms


In order to save water, which is very precious here in Oaxaca, the Hotel Las Mariposas puts water bucket in every guest room.

What are those water buckets exactly for? How does it work?

It is all very simple!
When you are about to take a shower you normally have to wait a few minutes until the water is getting hot. In order not to waste any water, you just take the provided bucket and “collect” the cold water until you would like to shower.

The full water buckets are going to be collected by the hotel management the following day. With this water the women are going to water the plants and it is also used for cleaning the floors!

If you are staying with us, we would be very thankful if you help us to save more water!

Thank you very much :)
