  Description

  We have a piece of land in Togüí, Boyaca. We want to transform it into a self-sufficient agroecological farm. We are in a process of transition from sugar cane monoculture to a diverse cultivation and reforestation. Togüí is a quiet municipality, its people are friendly and its land is generous.

  Accommodation

  We can offer a simple room with a bed and shareable work spaces. In case there is a visitor or family there are camping options. There is satellite internet for metered use. We can offer the food, but it seems fair to us that the preparation is shared. Typically this is breakfast, lunch and dinner. In our house the decision not to eat (or eat) animals is respected.
