    Description

    We are from Ecuador and we live on the outskirts of Quito, in the Chillos Valley near the Quito airport. We have a farm which we want to give a new style by improving certain things in the house, we think that our space is a very nice place to disconnect from the routine of the city, that's why we thought it would be good to have people from different parts of the world, share cultures and experiences.

    We are Ade and Jazmín (my mother), Jazmin who is 65 years old lives on the farm, I live next to her in another house where she would stay, my mother at the moment has problems with her arm which does not allow her to carry out certain activities at home, we really like plants, that's why we want to improve the garden and maintain order on the farm, that's why we need someone who can help you with your activities, they also really like animals, so that the farm has, sheep, chickens, cats, dogs and some beautiful cows. I also have my dog ​​Ananda who is very playful and needs company. Very close to our house we have lagoons, waterfalls, shopping, and all the things you may need.

    The farm is a very quiet place, perfect to renew energy since there is a lot of nature and a forest in front. They will learn about what a farm in Ecuador is like, the coexistence with animals and plants that we have on the farm. You can also learn about the typical gastronomy of Ecuador. The farm obviously has a large space to enjoy it, safe places where you can build a campfire and camp.

    Ade is a yoga instructor, during our visits we will never miss our outdoor yoga session because they would like to learn.
