    Description

    My name is Sol and i live with my 3 lovely dogs ( Kiam, Jack * Jane) and 2 horses (horse Alarik & Prosapia) , a few cats and bees hives, in my Farm (Finca ). Our attention is mainly focused on the finca. The finca is a place, located up a hill with wonderfull ocean view. My dream is the farm says sowing life, that is self-sustainable and self-sustaining, that grows along with people who have the same optics of conservation and return to the roots of man, share with my animals and a huge fruit and vegetables garden.

    PHILOSOPHY of our Finca was born with the conviction that everything is possible if you want with the heart, the importance and respect for the species and the needs of man in general, " sowing sowing life" recovering this bit of soil / sky, transmitting and teaching volunteers from around the world and the local community the importance of returning to the beginnings of man in the face of impending climate change.
    The soil recovery chain begins with composting (compostum), the planting of native tree species combined with edible species that help with soil nitrogen, while indirectly contributing to the reintroduction of avifauna and endemic species in general.
    To live, appreciate and enjoy between the balance and harmony between man and his resources in a sustainable and sustainable way.

    My home is located in Las Tunas, a small village close to Puerto López - Manabi. I dedicated to recreational, research, cultural and adventure. The beach is made for surfing and horse back riding, and at certain times of the year the sea turtles nest so it is not surprising to see the little turtles born and from end of june to end of october we can enjoied the Humpback whales.

    Here is always a lot to do!!
    In the morning we ususally feed the horses,feed the dogs , one hour latter's we focus on clean the horses boxes brosh them etc.
    Every 3 days feed the bees hives.

    There are various tasks to do, for example: construction works, painting, building and repairing fences, gardening and general maintenance. horses, dogs....
    Normally we spend the rest of the day around the finca, where are also a lot of things you could do.

    The dogs are always around, so there are a lot of possibilities to spend time with them.
    During the day the horses are staying at the finca but sometimes early in the moarnig we taken for a walk on the beach they love it.
    In general the life in the Finca is very calm and relaxed but never boring.
