La señora Cristina y su familia fueron increíbles personas durante toda mi estancia, ellos nunca tendrán problema en compartir todo lo que tienen y lo que saben con los demás. Y aunque a veces todo pasaba muy rápido, estoy segura que algo nuevo aprendí cada día. Como guías locales fueron muy top, conocí de la cultura colombiana en aspectos naturales, culturales y hasta sociales. Vale totalmente la pena pasar unos días con ellos, ya sea en su finca o en el pueblo. Yo espero que no sea la última vez que podamos coincidir. Gracias por todo. ✨
