Diana was very welcoming and we were clearly communicated to about the chores we could take on. It was sad to leave as we became in rhythm with life at the project but gave us a purpose while travelling that we really enjoy. Although my Spanish isn't very good, I found it a great opportunity to practice and learn. We really enjoyed the yoga and silks classes that Diana took us through. Very enjoyable stay and hopefully we can return someday soon.

We enjoyed our week with Diana at the project. We did a variety of jobs, my partner is a tradesmen, so we worked to his strengths. But there are a variety of tasks you can help with including gardening, cooking, education/circus classes, creative activities etc. It was a great opportunity to practice our Spanish. Diana also speaks a little english so we could meet in the middle. We stayed in a comfortable room with plenty of space and the lunches were yummy. There's a great outdoor kitchen. And Diana kindly gave us a beginner lesson in silks and we did yoga together.

Destacamos especialmente su ayuda con el embellecimiento del espacio. Fue muy cuidadosa y profesional. Fue lindo compartir un poco de circo y la vida en la naturaleza.

ECOCIRCO es un lugar muy hermoso para alejarse de la ciudad, es un espacio de conectar literal con la naturaleza. Eres muy autónomo en tus cosas, la anfitriona es muy relajada y las actividades no son pesadas (solo debes llevar siempre botas, guantes, gorra y protector solar). Diana, y su hija, son muy amables. Intenté aprovechar todos los días al máximo, en la tardes salíamos a los pueblos (Anolaima y Cachipay)montañas, ríos, etc. Todo lo que fuera disfrutar del viaje. Puedes revisar en Cachipay transportes más económicos en moto a 6 mil pesos, es un gran dato para ahorrar.

Mi experiencia en ecocirco fue maravillosa, aprendi muchas cosas que no sabia que existian en terminos de agricultura y que me pueden contribuir en otros entornos. La tranquilidad que se siente en el lugar es algo genial, te hace sentir en calma, el clima es perfecto y Diana es una mujer con mucho talento, tambien es muy flexible ante cualquier situacion, la comida vegetariana nunca habia estado dentro de mis planes, sin embargo fue una experiencia tambien de mucho conocimiento y de descubrir como existen muchas maneras de alimentarnos, y de disfrutar ricos alimentos. Espero volver pronto.

Llegar a este espacio, fue un sueño hecho, es un lugar hermoso donde uno se puede desconectar y conectar con uno mismo, cerca del pueblo pero desconectado con tanta naturaleza. Las actividades que se deben realizar son bastantes cómodas y practicas la mañana es bien provechosa y queda toda la tarde para descansar o recorrer los alrededores. Poder usar el espacio de circo a conciencia es un privilegio, y poder aportar con los conocimientos de uno es muy bienvenido por diana y sus hijos. La verdad vine por 2 semanas y medias y pedí mi extensión en el espacio.
