"Harvesting Stories: Living with Farmers in Villanueva" offers an unparalleled experience of authenticity and connection, as it invites participants to work side-by-side with the true custodians of rural Colombian traditions. The farmers, aged between 60 to 80 years, open up their world to share not just their agricultural practices, but also their life stories, wisdom, and the deep bond they have with the land.
This experience stands out because it goes beyond the surface, providing a genuine interaction that can’t be found in typical tourist activities. Participants are not just learning about farming; they are actively participating in the daily tasks, shoulder to shoulder with the farmers, creating a unique space for cultural exchange and mutual learning.
