  Description

  Hello partners and partners!
  Welcome to Colombia!
  If you are looking for a place to be in real contact with the Colombian mountain, then this is the right place ...
  We are located in the mountain north of Medellin, surrounded by a lot of vegetation, a totally tropical climate, at a height of 2200mt above sea level ...
  We are a group of friends that has been for many years with the dream of living in community, and we have finally found the place to make our dream come true.
  Our intention with volunteering is to advance in the construction of the whole structure and start with the organic gardens, but at the moment we only have a small house and a lot of motivation.
  it's a really magical place, with floors cleared of pesticides and zero pollution of the city, since it is located approximately 2 hours 30 minutes from Medellin by bus, and to reach the community you should walk approximately 30-40 minutes, there is no access to cars, so it allows it to be a suitable space for all our community projects.
