    Description

    Bienvenid@ a un espacio de conexión profunda con la naturaleza y el alma.

    Somos una familia y comunidad ubicada en las montañas del sur de Colombia, en el territorio ancestral de Obonuco - Pasto, un lugar lleno de vida, historia, agua y belleza natural. Aquí, en medio de jardines, bosques, miradores y fogatas, llevamos adelante un proyecto que busca sembrar consciencia, cuidado y respeto por la tierra y por nuestras relaciones humanas.

    Creamos experiencias transformadoras a través de convivencias, caminatas ecológicas, talleres creativos, actividades con estudiantes, encuentros tradicional, procesos de siembra, rescate de saberes tradicionales, entre muchas otras vivencias que alimentan cuerpo, mente y espíritu.

    Nuestro hogar no es solo nuestro, es de quien llega con el corazón abierto.

    Aquí vivimos fraternalmente al cuidado de nuestras plantas y animales que alegran nuestro día a día.

    El territorio de Obonuco nos ofrece cascadas, caminos antiguos, miradores naturales .
    Trabajamos en colaboración con personas del territorio y la comunidad Indígena Quillasinga que conserva tradiciones y saberes, también con los visitantes que llegan con ganas de compartir, aprender y también transformar sus propias vidas.

    ¿Qué buscamos en quienes quieran venir?
    Voluntari@s con corazón dispuesto, que amen la naturaleza, que se involucren con respeto, que quieran compartir sus talentos y también aprender de un ritmo más lento, más humano. Personas dispuestas a colaborar en siembra, jardinería, cocina tradicional, construcción natural, cuidado del espacio, creación de contenidos o acompañamiento de grupos escolares.

    Aquí no solo se trabaja: se canta, se baila, se celebra la vida, se mira el atardecer desde el columpio gigante, se conversa en el círculo de fuego. Venir a La Tribu es recordar que hay otras formas de habitar el mundo.

    Si sientes el llamado, esta montaña también puede ser tu hogar. Te esperamos con los brazos abiertos.

    Welcome to a space of deep connection with nature and the soul.

    We are a family and community located in the mountains of southern Colombia, in the ancestral territory of Obonuco - Pasto, a place full of life, history, water, and natural beauty. Here, surrounded by gardens, forests, viewpoints, and campfires, we carry out a project that seeks to sow awareness, care, and respect for the earth and for our human relationships.

    We create transformative experiences through coexistence, ecological walks, creative workshops, activities with students, traditional gatherings, planting processes, the rescue of traditional knowledge, among many other experiences that nourish the body, mind, and spirit.

    Our home is not only ours, it belongs to those who arrive with an open heart.

    We are a family and community located in the mountains of southern Colombia.

    Here we live fraternally, caring for our plants and animals that bring joy to our daily lives.

    The Obonuco territory offers us waterfalls, ancient trails, and natural viewpoints.
    We work in collaboration with local people and the Quillasinga Indigenous community, which preserves traditions and knowledge, as well as with visitors who come with a desire to share, learn, and transform their own lives.

    What are we looking for in those who want to come?
    Volunteers with a willing heart, who love nature, who engage with respect, who want to share their talents and also learn from a slower, more human pace. People willing to collaborate in planting, gardening, traditional cooking, natural construction, space maintenance, content creation, or accompanying school groups.

    Here, we don't just work: we sing, dance, celebrate life, watch the sunset from the giant swing, and chat in the fire circle. Coming to La Tribu is remembering that there are other ways to inhabit the world.

    If you feel the call, this mountain can also be your home. We await you with open arms.
