the biennial Expo Ecosalud - Billed as the city's health and quality of life fair - the Expo Ecosalud is something you shouldn't miss out on. In addition to bringing together the most important producers, distributors and importers of natural, ecological and organic products, the fair has a fascinating programme of conferences, interactive demonstrations and participatory workshops, both for professionals and the general public.
Amongst the many activities, you'll find workshops on established therapies like reflexology as well as more unusual topics like the Tao and Tantra of Laughter or a chance to try out a little dancetherapy. If you ever wonder about how to live a spiritual life in a capitalist world then make sure to check out the seminar on Money and Conscience. Other conferences and lectures focus on alternative medicine and herbal remedies for a variety of diseases and disorders such as osteoporosis, depression, addiction or chronic pain.
A fair dedicated to healthy living would not be complete without a chance to sample some of the organic products, which can be done at the restaurant buffet. And if you wish to take some of this natural goodness back home with you, then browse the market, dedicated entirely to organic, all-natural products. Your tastebuds aren't the only thing in for a treat; several album presentations - with titles like Mantra Chillout – and concerts are there to give your ears a little pleasure too.
