Alejandro y Benita son muy simpaticos. He aprendido sobre bioconstruction. También plantamow varios arboles y plantamos semillas. Tienen un gato y un perro muy amigable. Me he sentido como en casa. La comida fue muy buena y he conectado mucho con la naturaleza. En una casa de campaña he dormido con una hermosa vista. Me gudta mucho el terreno con bastante bosque y tranquilidad.
