    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will be in a 180 acres farm, full of jungle, rivers, animals & life. This place has a magical power to make you feel in another space time dimension. We will also work with indigenous farmers from the Nasa tribe and share practices, stories and more. We can also play music around (guitar, panflute,...).

    What else ...

    In your free time at the farm you can go to the river, walk in the jungle, play with the animals, play music, chill, take pictures,... As we are far from other places it might be complicated to get out on a daily basis to Mocoa which is the nearest "city". Of course I can help you and drive you with my motorbike if you have specific needs or you might want to go out for the week-end and visit new places around.
