John and Alexander were amazing hosts. They made me feel very comfortable and welcome. The pace of life in the mountains is very calm and relaxed. Casa Agatá is beautiful, and they took me on a very beautiful path through the forest; it was a magical and spiritual experience! I learned about the Paisa Colombian culture, slang, and mountain coffee. They showed me their lifestyle and were interested in exchanging stories and cultural customs. Thank you John and Alexander! (Also, their puppy Dalí is adorable and very affectionate).
