Construction of traditional Kogui houses.
The experience
In our reserve, we are building traditional houses for the Kogui families; we require people with knowledge in bioconstruction who can help install palm roofs and perform clay finishes. It is a great cultural exchange experience where you will learn ancestral weaving techniques and the handling of natural materials.
