    Description

    We have a space where you can enjoy a fantasy landscape in the territory of the overflowing water star of the Farallones de Cali. Located in the Meléndez River basin in the Villacarmelo district, just 30 minutes from urban Cali. Volunteering is a space for learning through cultural activism and environmental education, reconnecting with nature, and protecting the basin (we don't protect the mountain, we are the mountain protecting itself). We work for food sovereignty based on a regenerative agriculture concept, developing typical farm tasks: planting, cultural work, harvesting and post-harvest, processed foods, proper waste management, composting and bio-input production, gardening, green building, cleaning, organization, and cooking.
    Contamos con un espacio donde puedes disfrutar de un paisaje de fantasía en el territorio de la desbordante estrella de agua de los Farallones de Cali. En la cuenca del río Meléndez en el corregimiento de Villacarmelo, a solo 30 minutos de la zona urbana de Cali. El voluntariado es un espacio de aprendizaje a través del activismo por la cultura y la educación ambiental, la reconexión con la naturaleza y la protección de la cuenca (no protegemos la montaña, somos la montaña protegiéndose a sí misma). Trabajamos por la soberanía alimentaria en un concepto de agricultura regenerativa, desarrollando tareas típicas de la finca: siembra, labores culturales, cosecha y postcosecha, alimentos procesados, gestión adecuada de residuos, compostaje y producción de bioinsumos, jardinería, bioconstrucción, limpieza, organización y cocina.
