LET'S GO TO THE FARM




The farm is located in the municipality of La Palma, Cundinamarca, is a place away from everything where you can truly rest. To get there you must arrive by road, it is a trip of approximately 5 hours, starting from Bogotá by the route Zipaquirá-Pacho-La Palma, and a 10 minutes walk.
The weather is warm and it is very nice, the food is something very nice as everything is prepared in a wood stove, it is a coffee area then you can imagine the coffee delight we took there, nor to tell you about the real hen country.
The activities we do are all related to the field and livestock, particularly enjoy riding and everything related to Vaquería.
