Description
(español abajo)
We are a french and colombian couple. We have been living in the colombian Andes for 9 years. Our farm is located at 3000m, near a native forest with beautifull vegetation and birds (including orchids, and the famous mountain tucan).
Our main activities are duck raising and beekeeping. In the farm we have sheep, vermiculture, a dog and a cat, an organic garden, and a few chicken. We also prepare gastronomic products derivated from ducks (rillettes, confit...), bees (mead, turrón,...), and other crafts (beer, rum, essential oils...).
We have been receiving volunteers for 2 years now and with their help we have built our house and organised our farm. During that time we have been living in our tiny house,which we also built.
Now that the house is “finished”, we are living in it, and volunteers stay in the tiny house. We offer to share and learn our life at the farm in change of taking care of the animals in the morning and afternoon (this is the main task) and other secondary activities (see “help” section).
This opportunity is ideal for those wishing to take a break during their travel and have a nice routine in the middle of nature (We wish we had that opportunity when we backpacked years ago :) ).
-------------------------------------------------
Somos una pareja colombo francesa. Hemos estado viviendo en zona rural de los andes colombianos desde hace 9 años. Nuestra finca esta ubicada a 3000msnm, al pie de un bosque nativo con vegetación y aves hermosas (incluyendo el famoso tucán de montana).
Nos dedicamos principalmente a la cría de patos y a la apicultura, aun que en la granja también encontrarás ovejos, lombrices, una perra y una gata, un huerto orgánico, y pollos. También hacemos productos gastronómicos derivados de los patos (rillettes, confitado...), de las abejas (hidromiel, turrón,...), y otros (aceites esenciales, cerveza, ron artesanal...).
Hemos recibido a voluntarios durante los ultimos dos años con quienes bioconstruimos nuestra casa e instalamos nuestra finca. Mientras tanto hemos estado viviendo en una tiny house que construimos tambien.
Ahora que nuestra casa ya esta terminada, estamos viviendo en ella. Así que la tiny house es toda para los voluntarios. Ofrecemos compartir y enseñar nuestra vida en la finca a cambio del cuidado de los animales en la mañana y en la tarde (es la tarea principal) y de otras actividades secundarias (ver seccion “help”).
Esta propuesta nos parece ideal para aquellos que buscan tomar una pausa en su viaje y encontrar una rutina tranquila en medio de la naturaleza (por lo menos a nosotros nos hubiese gustado cuando estuvimos mochileando :) ).

The daily routine help we ask for is to take care of the animals twice a day: feed them, give water, clean the cages, doing the daily report of breeders activity, etc.
Once this is done, depending on your interest and when their is time left, there are a lot of other tasks you can help with: cooking, maintenance of the garden and green areas, participate in daily households (kitchen, dishes), some ecological building and other projects depending on what is going on when you visit us, beekeeping (depending on the season).
-------------------------------------------------
La rutina diaria de los voluntarios es cuidar los animales en la mañana y en la tarde: alimentarlos, darles agua, limpiar los équipos (jaulas etc.), hacer el reporte diario de las posturas, etc.
Después de este trabajo, dependiendo de tus intereses y cuando sobre tiempo, nos puedes ayudar con muchas otras actividades : cocina, mantenimiento de la huerta y de las zonas verdes, participar en las actividades cotidianas compartidas (cocina, loza), bioconstrucción y otros proyectos dependiendo de lo que este en curso cuando nos visites, apicultura (dependiendo de la temporada).

We live very close to the Chingaza Natural National Park, that can be visited.
There are nice hikes from the farm and around the village.
We are also located at 1h far from the sacred Guatavita lake.
We live in the countryside but are quite close from the village (20min by car, 1h30 by walk) and from Bogotá (1h30). There is a rural bus service and public buses from the village, and they work quite well.
We live in a "cold" area, no tropical climate here!
-------------------------------------------------
Estamos muy cerca del parque natural nacional Chingaza, que se puede visitar. Hay caminatas bonitas desde la finca y en otras zonas del municipio. También estamos a 1h de la laguna sagrada de Guatavita. A pesar de estar en una zona muy rural, en carro estamos a 20min del pueblo (1h30 a pie), y a 1h30 de Bogotá. Hay transporte público rural e intermunicipal, y funciona bien.
También estamos conectados con otros artesanos de la zona (queso, hortalizas, tejidos).
Estamos en una zona « fría », no estamos en clima tropical!
