    Descrição

    We are a young French couple, Charles et Hermine, who came to Jujuy, a state located in north west Argentina in 2021 to take over the management of the family finca. Both barely two thirty old, with a little baby arrived in Argentina, we live in this finca of 2400 hectares of jungle-forest in the Yungas.

    We are located in the middle of mountains covered by a luxuriant vegetation, with a rich biodiversity: more than 600 species of birds and also wild animals, like the peccary, tapir, monkey kai, puma, etc. Several gauchos live in the finca, in a traditional way, in the middle of their cows in semi-liberty.

    We have built two lodges out of massive logs, equipped with all the conveniences to receive travellers in a wild and preserved environment, with a personalized service. Here, travellers enjoy an unforgettable experience: sleeping in a cabin with a panoramic view of the Yungas mountains, taking a bath in a private ecological Jacuzzi, exploring jungle trails or sampling traditional French cuisine.

    We offer private jungle excursions for these travelers, horseback riding and hiking, and are looking for Workawayers to accompany groups with our local guide.

    Actually, we have 3 locally paid staff for our hospitality activity. They are in charge of the cleaning of the lodges, the security of the place and to make the excursions.
