  Descrição

  Hi there, thanks for reading my profile. I'm Teun, a Dutch guy in Latin America. Living here about 9-10 years and run a travel agency through Latin America. I live on the jungle close to Medellín on a big hill. The land is like 5-8 hectares big with multiple waterfalls and a great natural pool. We have got a lot of food cultivated and try to do everything with a permacultural mindset. It's 2 hours away from Medellín (2,5 by bus, stops in front of the land); the place is called Cocorná. There is many things to do, but it's not touristic for international tourist. Not yet though, because my travel agency sends a lot of people here to do great hiking, white water rafting (level IV and even V), abseiling, canyoning, horse back riding, fruit tours, parapente etc. I've got all the contacts so that's easy if you want to enjoy your days of. I've traveled for about 8-9 years straight and I've never seen such a beautiful place as the land I'm offering to share and to work on.
  
  There is a lot of animals at my finca; monkeys, snakes, spiders, sloths, birds, dogs, chickens and a cat. Jungle - finca life!
  
  Projects in november '24
  - Help in construction of a cabin
  - Woodwork carpentry
  - Heavy work to carry things 15 minutes up in the mountain
  
  I'm not a fan of drugs and overconsumption of alcohol. I Think it's good to make this clear. I've had my party years and not enjoying it anymore. Been there, done that. I'm not looking for clients / workers to get crazy in the finca / jungle. It's a steep place with slippery paths and with somethings big snakes. Be aware of that :) If you're looking for nature & wildlife; Ive seen whole Colombia and bought this place after seeing it all.. It's a peaceful gem and you'll love it.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  There is 1 great guy working and living on the site, he is Colombian. My girlfriend is Colombian and I've got Colombian friends. The area over here is local, I would say it's difficult to find English speaking people here. There are some local bars and small restaurants at 10 minutes driving,.

  Acomodação

  Sleeping in one cabin here, I will cover food expenses on the site. We need to find out regarding the cooking but I guess that everybody has got it's own style. I haven't got a chef in the house neither Am I. I've got 2 cabins to sleep in. Both are a project as well to make beautiful by the way, I've got photos.
