    Description

    We are a family farm with more than 200 years of tradition, committed to the sustainable development of the communities of the Andes, the conservation of nature and the beauty that it offers us.

    Currently we are dedicated to Eco tourism. Our farm offers many attractions such as: trails, waterfalls, tropical jungle, natural pools, fruit forests and much more. Which will make your stay here very entertaining. Our ecotourism project operating since 2021, where we receive groups in 2 guest houses with capacity for 30 people.

    We offer activities such as: Guided excursions to waterfalls, hiking, camping, bonfires, bird watching, trail running, guided tours through the province of Bolívar. Our desire is to implement workshops or educational activities for the community of this wonderful place. Within our farm we have 80 hectares of primary / secondary humid subtropical forest with 7km of sloping river forming a beautiful landscape full of waterfalls, giant trees and jungle.

    This forest is home to unique biodiversity in the world and could be a hot spot for the discovery of unrecorded species. The intention of us owners of the farm is to declare it a protective forest in order to guarantee and promote the conservation of nature, reforestation and environmental education.

    Currently there are different threats such as illegal hunting, theft of wood, mining companies and government organizations trying to take advantage of a place that does not belong to them. Therefore, legally declaring it a protective forest and seeking financing to guarantee care for nature has become our priority.

    We are looking for volunteers to help us mainly with:
    - Gathering information on biodiversity, water, geological and forest resources.
    - An expert in permaculture to guide us to start a regenerative agriculture project
    - A Yoga instructor that allows us to complement the activities

    Dentro de nuestra hacienda tenemos 80 hectáreas de Bosque primario / secundario húmedo subtropical con 7km de Rio en pendiente formando un hermoso paisaje lleno de cascadas, arboles gigantes y selva.

    La intención de nosotros propietarios de la hacienda es de declararlo bosque protector para así garantizar y fomentar la conservación de la naturaleza, la reforestación y la educación ambiental.

    Actualmente existen diferentes amenazas como la caza ilegal, el robo de madera, mineras y organizaciones gubernamentales tratando de sacar provecho de un lugar que no les pertenece.
    Por lo cual declararlo bosque protector legalmente y buscar financiamiento para garantizar el cuidado a la naturaleza se ha convertido en nuestra prioridad.

    Estamos buscando voluntarios que nos ayuden principalmente con:
    - Levantamiento de información de biodiversidad, recursos hídricos, geológicos y forestales.
    - Un experto en permacultura que nos guie a iniciar un proyecto de agricultura regenerativa
