    Our finca is a permaculture family project willing to transform and open for tourism. We are under construction, willing to learn and share knowledge about natural building, plants, agriculture, cooking, arts.

    We are Nadia, Martina and Andrés (also three cats and two dogs), living at 1600 meters above sea level in the Andean Mountains in Valle de Tenza, Colombia, in a region with a lot of ancient culture. We need to build, make compost, work at the garden, in the forest and with farm animals. We want to share all the tasks and skills with you.
