    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our home is a space open to art and sharing. We are open to learning about new cultural experiences, languages and practices different from our own.

    The cultural exchange we offer is based on giving volunteers the opportunity to learn about the history that surrounds them in one of the most historic towns in Colombia. In addition, we involve them in cultural and recreational activities that we organize with the community such as bullerengue gatherings, theater, concerts and others.

    In this place where we meet, history, culture and art vibrate every day, so we will surely do many tourist and cultural activities together and with our network of friends in Villa de Leyva.

    Nuestra casa es un espacio abierto al arte y el compartir. Estamos abiertos a aprender sobre nuevas experiencias culturales, idiomas y prácticas diferentes a las nuestras.

Además, lo involucramos en actividades culturales y de esparcimiento que organizamos con la comunidad como encuentros de bullerengue, teatro, conciertos y demás.

    En este lugar donde nos encontramos la historia, la cultura y el arte vibran todos los días, así que seguro realizaremos muchas actividades turísticas y culturales juntos y con nuestra red de amigos en Villa de Leyva.
