Description
We have a coffee farm in the mountains near Minca, Colombia. We are beggining a small eco village and we are looking for help with some construction projects, cooking and gardening. It's very isolated and safe, lots of forest and mountain streams, and very few people. I would prefer a month minimum, due to our remote location. It's 4 a hour mule ride from the closest village. All food, housing included. We make the trip 2 times a month, usually the 1st and 3rd week of each month. If you can coordinate to come/go with us its free. If not you need to pay one of the locals to bring you and your stuff, which could be 50-100mil pesos depending on where they get you and time. Its not too complicated, I can explain everything and send fotos on whatsap too.
