- Full Description
-
A rural estate located in the Andean region of Antioquia, Colombia, manages 170 hectares with agro-industrial and tourism development potential. With over 15 years of experience in sustainable trout farming and 8 years in avocado cultivation, the project integrates food production with responsible land management practices.
While its involvement in hospitality services is recent, the estate is actively opening its doors to visitors interested in exploring the cultural, agricultural, and natural richness of the region. It offers a unique environment where agroecology, biodiversity, and traditional rural livelihoods coexist.
The estate’s long-term vision is to establish itself as a model for integrated rural development, combining agro-industrial activities with sustainable tourism and environmental education. Its location provides opportunities for nature-based experiences such as trout fishing, agro-tourism, and ecological walks, which are currently under development.
To achieve this, the project is seeking strategic and technical cooperation with institutions, NGOs, academic entities, and tourism operators that can support the design and implementation of sustainable tourism models, environmental conservation strategies, and visitor experience development.
Potential areas of collaboration include:
- Technical support for eco-tourism infrastructure and interpretive planning
- Conservation and reforestation initiatives
- Capacity building in rural hospitality and sustainable tourism
- Development of agro-tourism experiences focused on education, biodiversity, and gastronomy
The estate is committed to improving environmental stewardship, generating alternative income for the local community, and strengthening the value of Colombia’s rural territories through innovative and sustainable practices. - Advantages and Innovations
