Description
Hi!
I am Tiago Portugues and my wife is Selva from Colombia, we live in an incredible place in the middle of nature, right next to the river, surrounded by mountains and eucalyptus forest. We feel that we are protectors of this land, so it's important to us to receive sisters and brothers who respect and love nature as deeply as we do.

As part of our volunteer exchange, we do not provide an prepared meals,the volunteers pay for their own food and cook for themselves. but we do supply some basic food items in the caravan especially for your breakfast (such as granola, oatmeal,vegetable milk, toast, oil, coffee, te, and seasonal fruits. )
We visit the nearest town every 10 to 12 days, and you are welcome to join us to purchase whatever you need for your own healthy meals. but sure, we will also have precious moments to cook and share the food together.
