  Description

  Hi everyone, my name is Amalia, I’m a rural school teacher and I live in Pacho, Cundinamarca, a very nice hometown outside Bogotá City. It takes you one hour and half for you to get here and you will fall in love with the view, the mountains, the close rivers, the weather and the quietness. Along with my family we are interested in knowing more about your culture, your country, your traditions and your language.
