We have lived in this part of the world for over 2 years now and it is simply stunning. We could show you plenty of places to visit and spend time at the project house hanging out/getting tasks done during the weekdays (some weekends depending on arrival date) but generally there will be lots of free time to explore locally.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
