During the walk to the farm you will get to know rural Colombian life in a place far away from mass tourism. The farm, a small house in the countryside, is located 1 hour drive from Bucaramanga. Besides being a region free of pollution from the city, the people live almost completely independently.
During the hike of approximately 1 km (0.6 mile) that will take you to a height of 200 meters above the mountain, you will observe different animals and the diversity of plants and fruits that Colombia offers such as cocoa, bananas, papayas, passion fruit, etc. As you go up the mountain, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the landscape, which is a mixture of mountainous rainforest and grasslands. At the farm you will be able to share with the peasant family and learn about the culture of the Colombian countryside. A homemade lunch with natural juice will be served.
