A REAL RETREAT

 

 

Travelling Latin America 25 years ago we fell for spacious Bolivia and its people. The striking view on the Samaipatan valley -Samaipata means the Height to Rest- with its delightful subtropical climate, made us settle there in an old country retreat of 6 ha.

 

We called it "La Víspera"= the Eve, thus expressing the festivity of starting a new life.  

 

With the years La Víspera has grown to become a Real Organic Farm Retreat with hundreds of indigenous trees, flower gardens and terraces. In our gardens we grow a grand variety of vegetables, fruits and aromatic herbs; in the HERBOLARIO (click) we process them into medicinal mixtures, herbal teas, seasoning, massage oils, tinctures, jams, nectars & mousses.

 

 

Finca La Víspera gives shelter to some 90 bird species, bees and mammals like: deer, fox, porcupine, badger, skunk, iguanas, guinea pig. We have happy dogs to hug and horses to ride.
