We are a multicultural family bringing together the warmth of Latin America and the spirit of the United States. My Colombian heritage blends beautifully with my wife's Ecuadorian roots, while our children, represents our American journey. Our decision to move here was driven by our desire to embrace a more meaningful way of life—one where we could take leisurely walks, nurture genuine friendships, actively participate in our community, and find joy in life's simple pleasures, from reading books to cloud-gazing. Our approach to volunteers stems from our fundamental belief that they become an extension of our family. We treat each volunteer with the same respect, care, and consideration we show our own family members. This philosophy creates an environment where volunteers truly feel valued and integral to our operation. They become part of our story, sharing in both the work and the rewards of maintaining our luxurious mountain lodge. We believe in creating an environment where work feels less like obligation and more like being part of something extraordinary, where every day brings new experiences and meaningful connections.
