We are a Nature Reserve and non-profit initiative for the study, in-vitro reproduction and reintroduction in the wild of native Colombian orchid species. As advocates of the nature conservation, we initiated a process of ecological restoration and endangered species conservation in the area and socialize about the native fauna and flora trough different media (talks, leaflets, videos). As means achieve our objectives, we offer lodging in two cabins, all the buildings on the property are eco-friendly. We also offer birding and orchid watching tours, and orchid culture courses. We are located in an Andean mountain at 2700 MAMSL, 15 minutes away from the town of Tenjo - Cundinamarca and a 45 minute drive away from the capital city of Colombia, Bogotá. Surrounded by places of religious importance for our indigenous ancestors and rupestrian art as a reminder of them.
