About this audio guide
This guide to Hartwood in Tulum traces how a Brooklyn chef and his wife turned a scrap of jungle land into a restaurant built to run without a power grid. You'll hear about the wood-fired oven and grill that do all the cooking, and the solar panels and kerosene lamps standing in for electricity. It follows the couple's decision, made almost on a whim, to leave New York and stay in Tulum for good. Best heard standing near the open kitchen, close enough to feel the fire's heat.
