    Description

    We have an agroecological project focused on the conservation and restoration of native forest species in Calima, El Darién, located in the Cauca Valley, Colombia. The farm covers 65 hectares and boasts a rich biodiversity.

    We are a couple passionate about conservation, seeking opportunities to share knowledge and maintain the knowledge that allows us to live in peace with the natural world.

    We have a camping area, cabins, and a mountain house in a reserve area of the Páramo del Duende Regional Natural Park, one of the few remaining pristine páramos on the planet

    We invite you to join us to learn and share knowledge about sustainable practices and harmony with nature. If you'd like to learn more, please contact us, and we'll welcome you with open arms.
