Exploring Sustainable Energy in Guayacán
After our wonderful few days at the beach, it was time to move inland! We spent the last couple of days in Guayacán, a small village known for its volcanic hot springs!
While here we visited a geothermal plant, sun farm, and wind farm and learned about the positives and negatives associated with each of these sustainable sources of energy. Students even made their own wind turbines!
