"Back at Punta Pájaros that afternoon, I moved over to another property, Hotel Terrestre, the most recent to open and by far the most theatrical, with 15 rooms connected in an angular monolith of brick. There is a temescal, a massage area, and a strong whiff of modern wellness. Terrestre is completely solar-powered, with no air-conditioning anywhere, a bold move for an expensive hotel and perhaps a sly act of preservation of both the land and that essence Sodi had spoken to me about."
