We have a small industry for coffee process in order to advertize it directly, together with other 6 small producers from the community.

Most part of the property is natural forest where many water sources come from. It is our commitment to protect this natural resource since it is the main attraction for the adventure sports. In its topography, Quebrada San Miguel goes through a rocky canyon, where 10 waterfalls were formed through 900 meters. This originates wonderful conditions for the practice of rappel in the canyon. This happens in constant contact with nature, since during that descent through the forest there is not any construction, just trees, short plants, the sounds of the birds, and the silent movements of the morph butterflies and many other multicolored species and the smooth movement of the clear water while it descends.
