    Description

    Hi there! We are Juan Carlos and Juan Diego, two friends who, combining skills, passions, and time, decided one day during a phone call to launch a circular economy farm project.

    We are located in the department of Boyacá, at approximately 2,000 meters above sea level, between the municipalities of Guateque and Tibirita — a setting that grants us an excellent climate and a breathtaking view. We share our home with goats, chickens, bees, oyster mushrooms, and a beautiful little dog named Mai.

    Our purpose comes down to one statement and two essential questions:

    We have an ecosystem in our hands. What can we do to preserve it in the best possible way?
    We have an ecosystem in our hands. How much profitability can we generate without putting the environment at risk?

    More than an economic project, this is a home full of colors, music, creativity, laughter, and a great sense of peace.

    ===========

    ¡Hola! Somos Juan Carlos y Juan Diego, dos amigos que, uniendo habilidades, gustos y tiempos, un día en una llamada telefónica decidieron iniciar un proyecto de granja de economía circular.

    Nos encontramos ubicados en el departamento de Boyacá, a unos 2.000 m.s.n.m., entre los municipios de Guateque y Tibirita, lo que nos garantiza un excelente clima y una privilegiada vista. Nos acompañan cabras, gallinas, abejas, hongos orellana y una perrita hermosa llamada Mai.

    Nuestro objetivo se resume en una afirmación y dos preguntas esenciales:

    Tenemos un ecosistema en nuestras manos. ¿Qué podemos hacer para conservarlo de la mejor manera?
    Tenemos un ecosistema en nuestras manos. ¿Qué tanta rentabilidad podemos generar sin poner en riesgo el medio ambiente?

    Más que un proyecto económico, esto es una casa llena de colores, música, creatividad, risas y mucha tranquilidad.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here at the house, Juan Carlos and Juan Diego are two people with different approaches to life but with this project in common. You'll learn about rustic construction, mycology, beekeeping, environmental conservation, local gastronomy, and history, because if there's one thing we both love, it's talking and teaching. We're passionate about exchanging ideas, learning, and sharing knowledge. Bogotá D.C., the cultural center of Colombia, is just 2 hours from the farm. The town of Guateque, the commercial hub for the surrounding small towns, is 30 minutes away. The town of Tibirita, a small place that allows you to connect with the local cuisine and people, is just 5 minutes away.
