  Description

  Come and enjoy the work in the garden, sow and take care of the aromatic herbs and spices of our project. Renew your eyes with the landscapes of the moor, being among diverse and fresh flowers pollinated by bees that guard the territory. We cook in the warmth of the wood stove and weave the bonds of familiarity between regional flavors and rich recipes.
  
  I am Consuelo, a cheerful and optimistic person. I like the countryside, cooking and bees.
  
  I have more than thirty years in this land, it started with my husband and we have been here ever since.
  
  It is a place to enjoy, to breathe, to live it. Colombia is a beautiful land, our food and our people are to be missed.

  Ven y disfruta en las labores de la huerta, siembra y cuida de las aromáticas y especias de nuestro proyecto. Renueva tu mirada con los paisajes del páramo, el estar entre flores diversas y frescas polinizadas por abejas que aguardianan el territorio. Se cocina al calor del fogón de leña y se tejen los vínculos de la familiaridad entre sabores de la región y ricas recetas.
  
  Soy Consuelo, una persona alegre y optimista. Me gusta el campo, cocinar y las abejas.
  
  Tengo más de treinta años en esta tierra, empezó con mi esposo y hemos estado aquí desde entonces.
  
  Es un lugar para disfrutar, para respirar para vivirlo. Colombia es una tierra hermosa, nuestra comida y nuestra gente es de extrañar.
