We are a french and colombian couple. We have been living in the colombian Andes for a few years. We have recently aquired a small land in the mountains near Bogotá where we are building our house and farm. Meanwhile we are living in a tiny house that we built.
Our main activities are duck raising and beekeeping. In the farm we also have vermiculture, two calves, a dog and a cat, an organic garden, and a few chicken and sheep. We also prepare gastronomic products derived from ducks (rillettes, confit...), bees (mead, turrón,...), and other foods (craft beer and rum...).
We have many projects and ideas to explore, and we will developp them based on the interests of the volunteers that come and visit us.
Our farm is located at 2900m, near a native forest with beatifull vegetation and birds (including orchids, and the famous mountain tucan).
-------------------------------------------------
Somos una pareja colombo francesa. Hemos estado viviendo en zona rural de los andes colombianos desde hace varios años. Hace poco conseguimos un terreno en las montañas cerca de Bogotá donde estamos bioconstruyendo nuestra casa y nuestra granja. Mientras tanto estamos viviendo en una tiny house que construimos.
Nos dedicamos principalmente a la cría de patos y a la apicultura, aun que en la granja también encontrarás terneros, lombrices, una perra y una gata, un huerto orgánico, pollos y ovejas. También hacemos productos gastronómicos derivados de los patos (rillettes, confitado...), de las abejas (hidromiel, turrón,...), y otros (cerveza y ron artesanal...).
Tenemos mil proyectos e ideas por desarrollar, y la idea es irlos implementando según el interés de los voluntarios que nos visiten.
Nuestra finca esta ubicada a 2900msnm, al pie de un bosque nativo con vegetación y aves hermosas (incluyendo el famoso tucán de montana).

We can help you with improving your spanish (and french if interested), and planning your trip around colombia. We can also share our knowledge in ecological construction and agriculture.
Our way of life is simple and happy. We like good food, and we mix colombian and french habits. We don't have any TV. There is a quite good internet connection.
Our farm is located at 2900m, near a native forest with beatifull vegetation and birds (including orchids, and the famous mountain tucan). It is close to the Chingaza Natural National Park, an exceptional ecosistem, very typical from our region.
-------------------------------------------------
Podemos ayudar en aprendizaje de idiomas y en la planeación de tu viaje por Colombia. También podemos transmitir nuestros conocimientos en bioconstrucción y actividades agropecuarias.
Nuestro estilo de vida es sobrio y feliz. Comemos de todo, mezclando hábitos franceses y colombianos. No tenemos televisor. Si hay buen internet.
Nuestra finca esta ubicada a 2900msnm, al pie de un bosque nativo con vegetación y aves hermosas (incluyendo el famoso tucán de montana). Estamos muy cerca del parque natural nacional del páramo de Chingaza, ecosistema excepcional, muy típico de nuestra región.

The daily routine help we ask for is to take care of the animals: feed them, give water, clean the cages, doing the daily report of breeders activity, etc.
Once this is done (it can be quick or long, depending on the tasks to be done and number of ducks at the time you come), we have a lot of possible projects you can help with:
beekeeping

Develop vermiculture
Cook the products we sell (mead, craft beer, sweets, rum, ducks)
sow, maintain, and harvest in the garden, according to the time of the year
Share daily tasks (cook, wash the dishes)

By now we can only offer you to sleep in a tent, but the tent is inside our house under construction, which has a roof now! All the rest is to be shared in our tiny house: meals, dry toilets, shower. We have extra sleeping bags and blankets if needed.
-------------------------------------------------
Por ahora solo podemos ofrecer estadía en carpa, pero la carpa está dentro de nuestra casa en obra, la cual ahora tiene un techo! Todo el resto se comparte en nuestra tiny house: comidas, sanitarios secos, ducha. Prestamos saco de dormir y cobijas si se necesita.

We live very close to the Chingaza Natural National Park, that can be visited.
There are nice hikes from the farm and around the village.
We are also located at 1h far from the sacred Guatavita lake.
We live in the countryside but are quite close from the village (20min by car) and from Bogotá(1h30). There is a rural bus service and public buses from the village, and they work quite well.
We live in a "cold" area, no tropical climate here!
-------------------------------------------------
Estamos muy cerca del parque natural nacional Chingaza, que se puede visitar. Hay caminatas bonitas desde la finca y en otras zonas del municipio. También estamos a 1h de la laguna sagrada de Guatavita. A pesar de estar en una zona muy rural, en carro estamos a 20min del pueblo, y a 1h30 de Bogotá. Hay transporte público rural e intermunicipal, y funciona bien.
También estamos conectados con otros artesanos de la zona (queso, hortalizas, tejidos).
Estamos en una zona « fría », no estamos en clima tropical!
