  Description

  We are a family living in the Colombian Andes Mountains. The house is located 3 hours away (by Car/Bus) from the capital (Bogota), in a quiet and peaceful region. There are good public transportation options, a confortable accomodation, and we can provide you with guidance during your stay. Our family moved from the city to the farm some years ago, we are not 100% farmers, but we like the farmer-life a lot. Sometimes we host small events in the farm (ecotourism). We also have a great relation with local ("real") farmers, in case you are interested. The locals are caring and lovely people. Also, our Spanish accent happens to be quite clean and easy to understand (if you want to improve/or learn the language this is a good place!). Our parents only speak Spanish, my sister and I speak English but we usually are there during the weekends. Also, we are always open to new cultures and like to share and experience traditions with our visitors. Our family will offer you a great opportunity to practice your Spanish.
