The Experience

Cataleya came into existence just a couple of mounths ago, somewhat comunity like proyect, where dreams still come true. We use the irrigation dam for daily swimming, we do organic farming, bioconstrution. We have waterways, mystical places all around, native forest and much more. We will grow everything from garden crops to cereals, and are still in the middle of the process of planting an agricultural (food supplying) forest of fruits, nuts.

Gratas experiencias con Sebastián, persona comunicativa, autodidacta y muy comprometida con la comunidad. La casa esta construida a orillas del cerro, lo que permite ver panorámicas hermosas y escuchar sonidos de aves; la comida muy saludable. Mi microbiota lo agradece! Las actividades son variadas, desde ayudar a la limpieza del lugar, cuidar del invernadero/ jardín y trabajos de bioconstrucción, cada actividad me permitió conectarme aún más con la madre tierra. Si te gusta sumergirte en la naturaleza, está el bosque de árboles nativos con senderos para caminar y miradores que examinar.

La comunidad es un lugar hermoso que está empezando a generar frutos, sebastian es muy flexible respecto al trabajo y haciamos otras cosas además de trabajar lo que hacía mas amena la estadía, el valle de rabones es un lugar muy recomndable para visitar y más aún si llegas a este hogar que necesita muchas manos para seguir avanzando.
