  Description

  Welcome to our finca, we are Pablo and Coline, we have just finished a 5-year trip to South America in our van, visiting, sharing and learning in various projects related to permaculture and regenerative processes. All this great movement has inspired us to start a new stage and carry out a project that mixes art, in its various branches, along with permaculture with its various techniques. We have under our guard a 10ha farm near Tayrona National Park, in a village called Orinoco, in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Here we intend to experiment with music and garden design, paint and plant, do acrobatics and bio-build, we have knowledge about various techniques of agroforestry, bio-construction, intensive bio garden.
  
  We are in a new process of life, being parents of our little girl.
  We need one lovely volunteer to play and take care of her. :)
  
  We will gladly share and receive the knowledge!
  Welcome

The toilets are dry, here we take care of the water! For now we do not have Wi-Fi, but the neighbor 100 meters away does, and he lends us his password. Also the 4g signal of clear works very well. The electricity is solar, it works well to charge cell phones, cameras and computers. Please bring long work clothes and sturdy footwear for work in the field.

  The land is located at 5km from the main road, and the beach !!!
