  Description

  Hi!!! We are a French family, Marion, Dany, Téo, 6 years old and Lola, 1 years old ! We are living close to San Carlos, a small village, 4 hours away from Medellin in bus. 4 years ago, we bought a land of 20 acres, in the middle of jungle, with primary forest, river and waterfalls. 45 minutes away from the village, we are living in an incredible landscape, saving from deforestation and madness of globalization. A paradise…
  We have an little organic farm : cacao y coffee plantation, organic garden, many fruit trees, hens, dogs and cars. We also work on an eco-hostel project : we builded 1 shared kitchen, 1 workshop / laundry, 1 organic toilet and an bamboo kiosk. For the moment, we are building 3 bamboo bungalows and we have to renovate our house.
