    Description

    We are a short family, we have two lovely kids they understand french and spanish. We are still busy to try them learn dutch (my husbands language)...they love to play and go outside, they have a lot of energy and they are good boys, we love them!

    They like to play with our dogs. Our kids go to the french school and we would like someone native speaker dutch or french to help with our kids to improve those laguages.

    At home our kids like cooking, baking or art... on weekends we like to go out and just discover new places around Cojitambo!

    We live near an archeological site of Cojitambo (the best natural rock climbing spot in Ecuador) in the mountains. It is close to Cuenca a nice, cozy cultural city which is actually a Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, the people are great and welcoming.
