The experience

Hola! I'm Lupo, a Frenchman who moved to Colombia with my family. We've just settled into a traditional finca in the heart of the Coffee Region (Quindío), in a small vereda between Filandia and Quimbaya, surrounded by green hills, banana trees and coffee farms.

The house is full of character: colorful doors, a big lawn, a banana grove, a patio and a little separate house. Our dream is to turn it into a warm, simple and authentic place.
