Description
This is a project which we have been working for about 2 years. We are ubicated in Colombia, more exactly in Yaguara, Huila, it's about 1 hour from Neiva, and 6 - 7 hours from Bogota, the capital. The weather is hot, the temperature is about 23C° -37C°. In Colombia there are no seasons, but right now we are in a rainy moment. We offer services of camping, bonfire, we are building katamaran meshes to get the people relax, etc. This would be a great place to come, because it is a place rodeate of nature,animals (dogs, cows, sheeps, ducks, turkey), with the Betanias Dam view, very near to some nature water wells so beautifull, and you could discover so much places and the culture. You could learn about a farm, proyects, and also learn or improve the spanish. Colombia and Huila is a wonderfull place to discover.
