After a few busy and loud days in cali, we went to this stunning place 1 hour away from the city. Up here you have the pure nature right in front of your cabañas door. The sleeping space is private and in the night you can see the colorful stars right from your cozy bed. In the daytime you can go into the jungle, play soccer, chill at the cabaña, eat nice, take beautiful walks and have good times with Robert, Maricela and the Volunteers. Robert speaks english and tries to help you with every wish you come up. He also has this interesting project/foundation, where friendly volunteers help him to work around the house and build some ecologically cabañas.

It is a beautiful place to visit. The food is delicious and the hosts are quite nice and warm people. The place is located in a very safe area and it is easy to arrive. The landscape is wonderful. You can enjoy the view of the sunrise and sunset over the mountains. There are many waterfalls in the area. Also, it is good that the foundation is empowering local development in this rural area in Colombia.
I was able to spend a week in August/ September 2018 at the beautiful finca which is easily accessible from Cali (Jeep drops you in front of the entrance). Most of my work was focused on developing the finca itself and driving the development towards full self-sufficiency. The tasks included building a second cabin, diggin swales on the steep hill to establish terraces for agriculture, flattening an area for camping/ tent, cleaning out the certain areas from unwanted weeds and helping around the house. I was able to learn a lot about permaculture which was very interesting to me. Furthermore, I was lucky to take part in additional activities: ecotour to a beautiful waterfall in a nearby national park, spiritual session/ chakra alignment on the finca as well as the local community market which is also part of the BDF project (locals from the mountain area are encouraged to produce and sell their own handcrafted/ artisanal products at this market once per month). All in all a great project in a beautiful landscape setting that allows you to learn a lot and get involved with hands-on farmwork.
Un lugar maravilloso, cómodo y con unas vistas preciosas, además que toda la contribución va con el objetivo de proteger el medio ambiente. Un lugar con comida sana y aire puro, para regresar a la ciudad renovado completamente
Una excelente experiencia en un lugar auténtico, con una vista increíble. Nos gustaron la atención e histórias de Robert, también sus prácticas para proteger el medio ambiente y apoyar los proyectos comunitarios.
Muy bien trabajo!
¡Robert hace un buen trabajo con su fundación en villa caramelo! ¡Sigue así, Robert!
