Immersion in rural life and the beautiful nature of San Agustín
The experience
I am French and I have been in Colombia for 10 years. My project is to maintain a sustainable and welcoming estate that combines sustainable coffee production, rural tourism, and family life. I am passionate about sharing meals, stories from the region, and, of course, my coffee culture.
I love welcoming volunteers who want to integrate into our lifestyle and help me with general maintenance, the garden, and coffee cultivation, etc...

Living on our farm is an immersion in the rural life of San Agustín. As a French person, I have lived in Colombia for 10 years and I am the father of two Colombian daughters. Therefore I have the experience necessary to be the bridge between both cultures.
