During our free time we visit indigenous communities and neighboring communities, tourist centers and local artisans. We will visit the Antisana National Reserve and Sumaco.
We also hike along our trails, observe birds, explore the primary forest, and admire the orchids 🌸.
Sometimes we practice beekeeping and share knowledge about sustainable living.
We have 4 dogs, 2 cats, many chickens, ducks, and guinea pigs 🐶🐱🐓🐹
