  Description

  We are a farm that a few years ago (30) was productive and had sheds, pig farms and crops. Today it is a forest, with a main house and a secondary one. The idea is to adapt the space to offer camping and ecological outings. It is an ideal place for nature lovers, just one hour from Bogotá. There you will find tranquility and spaces to recharge your energy.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  An adult artist who speaks Spanish and French lives on the farm. I am an anthropologist and I speak Spanish and English. I have traveled a lot in Colombia and have several contacts throughout the country. I could serve as a guide to volunteers who wish to do so.
  I like cultural diversity. As an anthropologist, I enjoy meeting people from different places and sharing knowledge.
  Around the farm, you can do activities related to the countryside, such as fishing, hiking, a zoo, and restaurants with typical food. The farm is an hour from Bogotá, where you can find various cultural and social activities.

  Help

  We are looking for people who enjoy life in the countryside, at first we need to clean the forest a little of undergrowth, to adapt spaces for camping. Also people with initiatives to undertake different agricultural or permaculture projects, such as beekeeping or planting medicinal and edible gardens. We also want to install suspended meshes on trees.
  I am an anthropologist and I like cultural exchange, the idea is to be able to share with the volunteers while they are on the farm, I would like to perfect my English and I can teach Spanish.
  
  Buscamos personas que disfruten la vida en el campo, en un principio necesitamos limpiar un poco el bosque de maleza, para adecuar espacios para hacer camping. También personas con iniciativas para emprender diferentes proyectos agrícolas o permacultures, como apicultura o siembra de huertas medicinales y comestibles. Así mismo queremos instalar mallas suspendidas en árboles.
  Soy antropólogo y me gusta el intercambio cultural, la idea es poder compartir con los voluntarios mientras están en la finca, me gustaría perfeccionar mi inglés y puedo enseñar español.
