  Description

  We are Andres and Alice, a Swiss-Colombian couple who decided to go and live in the mountains of Colombia. We bought a small piece of land 2 years ago and our project is to convert this place into an ecological farm and to be as sustainable as possible.
  
  We see our space as a laboratory where we are experimenting with techniques for the preservation and regeneration of nature in the countryside.
  
  We live here with a little dog, a cat and many chickens that we raise with love.
  
  We are located at 1000m in the eastern cordillera of the Colombian Andes, 6 hours by bus from Bogota in the municipality of Paime Cundinamarca. It is a very quiet place surrounded by rivers and waterfalls.
