    Description

    Hello, my name is Miguel Ángel I'm 31 years old and my farm is nestled in the mountains of Santander, Colombia, bordered by two rivers and a one hour ride away from San Gil. With 40 acres of virgin land, a gentle weather, and a host of nature activities, it is the ideal getaway for workawayers looking to explore the wild side of Colombia !

    This months I'll need help with beekiping, gardening, general maintenance, and I have the Idea to start with pottery, (so all concerning ceramic processing).

    I'm also germinating seeds to reforest part of the mountain that was used in the past for grazing cows. And also I'm experimenting with liqueurs using the farm's products. So this is a space to experiment! All people who want to learn or share knowledge are welcome in my place. 😀

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I dream my farm to be a place of experiment, of creativity and cross-cultural, where people can learn by puting their knowledge together : skills, languages, etc. ( I can teach Spanish and French). I'm a city-guy who decided to go live in the countryside, so everyday is a learning experience for me! Hope it can be one for you too!

    Accommodation

    I have some beds to propose but if you prefer to camp or to sleep in hamac is also possible.

    As to the food, the idea is to cook all meals together whenever possible.
    Typically eat 3 meals a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner which is the main meal.
    I'm omnivore but mainly eat vegetarian dishes.
    I bake my own bread and sometimes I do pizzas too.
    Please let me know about special dietry requirements!

    What else ...

    I live about 7 km outside the village in beautiful unspoilt nature.
    if you love nature - thats the place to be!


    *IMPORTANT INFO*

    To reach Mogotes you need to find a place called "terminalito" (in San Gil) and you can take a bus going to Mogotes town (environ 1 h rode 9000 COP). Once in the town you can take a moto-taxi to my farm, (environ 12000 COP).

    Things to do in the farm :
    - Swim in both rivers,
    - Hike (20 minutes walk to the water source ; 2 hours walk to the Mountain Top called « Alto el Canelo », 2000 mts high)

    Things to do around :
    - visit the tourist-free Mogotes (20 minutes away) and the small villages around : Onzaga and San Joaquin ;
    - visit San Gil (50 minutes away), known and visited for its water sports ;
    - cross the Chicamocha Canyon and climb to the « Mesa de los Santos » (2 hours away) ;
