Description
We are a small resort located in Ecuador and help with community involvement and growing heirloom tomatoes and seeds to sell at the local market.
Small family run of a mix of American and Ecuadorian.
I am the project and property manager here on site. The family lives in a separate house here on the property also. We are a mix of American and Ecuadorian and the family has a mixed daughter who is 9, bilingual and an amazing little girl.
The property has available hiking on much of it including multi waterfalls along the creek on the property. We are in the mountains just outside of Cuenca. An amazing old Spanish city that has much to do and see.
On the property we have many projects. Growing foods, building cabins and garden beds and even an energy pyramid. Walkways, gardens, firewood, some help with the rental cabins, animals or kitchen.
There is also a pickle ball court, trampoline and ping pong table all covered from weather for extra fun.
We are a mix of English and Spanish speakers.
We have a few Ecuadorians who you will see on the property who come to help on different projects. Some help with gardening. Some help with landscaping or building or fixing the paths and others construction plumbing or odd end jobs.
