    hello travelers !
    the idea is to start our Permaculture/Agroforestry project, this will take a lot of work and love, and we are looking for volunteers that have some knowledge on permaculture or anything associated with farming. We are convince that the future and the answer to all the climate world problems is on the soil.
    We don´t want people that want to come just to visit the farm and help in what ever is asked, we want people that want to really fall in love with nature, and that wants to give their best to start a change in this area and that is really passionate by this! so if you want to learn as much as you can with this project and to fall in love with this beautiful world and all its got to give us, with out harming it and to the contrary, renovating its soil and giving lots of love to it, please send us a massage!

    no queremos personas que solo quieran venir a visitar y a ayudar en lo que se les pida, queremos personas que realmente quieran enamorarse de la naturaleza, y que quieran dar lo mejor de si para generar un cambio en esta zona, y que les apasione esto! así que si quieres aprender lo mas que puedas con este proyecto y verdaderamente enamorarse de este hermoso planeta y todo lo que tiene para brindarnos sin hacerle daño y al contrario, renovar su tierra, cuidarla y darle mucho amor, por favor mandanos un mensaje


    Hello, my name is Jhonatan and my brothers name is MIguel. We have a family farm in El Peñon Cundinamarca located about 3.5 hours of Bogota.

As you see there is many things to do and we will love for you to help us.

    The main team of the farm consists of my dad, my brother and i. my dad is 63 years old and building this farm is his dream come true, mostly his job at the farm is taking caer of the horses and some building and construction work. my brother is 39 and the mind behind this beautiful project, hi is a great carpenter that loves nature and life. i am 29 years old currently living , loving Aand working on the farm we are a very relax family that wants to enjoy life to the fullest, we believe in spiritual growth more that the economical growth, we want to live a peaceful life in the mountains having a connection with nature, and this is the reason of this beautiful project.

    Hola, mi nombre es Jhonatan y mi hermano MIguel. Tenemos una granja familiar en El Peñon Cundinamarca ubicada a unas 3.5 horas de Bogotá.

    Actualmente estamos comenzando un proyecto de eco turismo que incluye el alquiler de cabañas, pero hacemos muchas cosas en nuestra granja, como el cuidado de animales (caballos, cerdos, gallinas, perros, gatos, etc.), cultivamos diferentes tipos de árboles frutales ( naranja, mandarina, cacao, plátanos, plátanos, etc. ...) y la construcción de nuevas cabañas. Como ven, hay muchas cosas que hacer y nos encantaría que nos ayudaras

    El equipo principal de la granja está formado por mi padre, mi hermano mi cuñada y yo. mi papá tiene 63 años y construir esta granja es su sueño hecho realidad. Mi hermano tiene 39 años y es la mente detrás de este hermoso proyecto, es un gran carpintero y diseñador de interiores que ama la naturaleza y la vida, Giseala mi cuñada se encarga principalmente de la cocina (es una gran cocinera!) y yo tengo 29 años y actualmente estoy viajando por Europa, haciendo WorkAway pero volveré en enero 2018, así que por ahora me ocupo del sitio web. somos una familia muy relajada que quiere disfrutar la vida al máximo, creemos en el crecimiento espiritual más que en el crecimiento económico, queremos vivir una vida pacífica en las montañas teniendo una conexión con la naturaleza, y esta es la razón de este hermoso proyecto.

    Si estás buscando viajar a una hermosa parte de Colombia entre montañas y naturaleza, esta es una gran oportunidad para ti. queremos gente que ame y disfrute lo que hace, enérgica y feliz de venir, y que nos ayude a mejorar este lugar cada día.

    Amamos nuestra granja y trabajamos todos los días para hacerla mejor, pero este es un proceso largo que requiere de mucho tiempo y trabajo. somos una familia muy acogedora y nos encantará tener la oportunidad de compartir nuestra vida con usted y enseñarle lo más que podamos.

    la granja tiene un clima cálido, no hay turismo a los alrededores y el pueblo más cercano se encuentra a unos 15 kilómetros de distancia. tenemos un río cerca y un montón de hermosos paisajes!

    -Necesitamos personas que puedan ayudarnos con la construcción de nuevas cabañas, por lo que si tiene experiencia con la madera y construcción es una ventaja.
    -Necesitamos que alguien nos ayude con los turistas y las cabañas, esto incluye ingresar a los huéspedes, preparar las camas (en este momento solo tenemos 4 cabañas que alquilamos).
    y también a alguien a quien le gusta ensuciarse las manos con el jardín y los árboles frutales.

    algunas veces no hay invitado así que prepárate para hacer un poco de todo!
