    Please contact us in Spanish

    We are creating a space that is projected to be used for Bioarchitecture, permaculture and agroecology workshops, which contributes to the surrounding community taking care of this beautiful paradise that is part of the Condor Route, very attractive to tourists due to its landscapes and surrounded by the silence of the Mountain if your plan is to connect 100% with nature. If you are passionate about birds and their song, you can observe them including the emblematic Cóndor de los Andes and the proximity to the snow-capped mountains of Ruiz and Santa Isabel. Due to the above and the importance we give to the environment and territory that welcomes us, we want to inhabit the place while maintaining the least possible impact to generate a beautiful Ecovillage in which we are in complete harmony.

    In the place you will be in complete disconnection with the city, you will be able to have food for your food and you will have a stove to cook what you manage in your diet. As our approach is environmentalist, we suggest a mostly vegetarian diet and food from the garden, however if you require another type of food, you just have to let us know your preferences and we will support it by making your purchase balanced for both parties.

    Estamos creando un espacio que se proyecta para ser destinado a talleres de Bioarquitectura, permacultura y agroecología, que contribuya a que la comunidad aledaña cuide este hermoso paraíso que forma parte de la Ruta del Cóndor, muy atractivo para los turistas por sus paisajes y rodeado del silencio de la Montaña si tu plan es conectarte 100% con la naturaleza. Si te apasionan las aves y su canto puedes observarlas incluyendo el emblemático Cóndor de los Andes y la cercanía a los nevados del Ruiz y Santa Isabel. Por lo anterior y por la importancia que le damos al entorno y territorio que nos acoge, queremos habitar el lugar manteniendo el menor impacto posible para generar una hermosa Ecoaldea en la que estemos en completa armonía.

    En el lugar estarás en completa desconexión con la ciudad, podrás disponer de víveres para tu alimentación y dispondrás de estufa para cocinar lo que en tu dieta manejas. Como nuestro enfoque es ambientalista sugerimos dieta vegetariana en su mayoria y alimento de la huerta, sin embargo si requieres alimentacion de otro tipo, solo debes hacernos saber tus preferencias y apoyaremos en ella haciendo equilibrado para ambas partes su adquisicion.
