La finca de Yupanqui y Paula es un lugar perfecto para relajarse y conectar con la naturaleza, allí practicamos una vida sostenible y responsable para con el medio ambiente, su prioridad es la conservación de especies autóctonas por ende abunda la flora y fauna local en el lugar... pude aprender mucho sobre abejas, mariposas e insectos en general, además participé de una clase de apicultura muy interesante. Probé comida y frutas locales. El trabajo fue mayormente de construcción, los horarios fueron respetados, y todo se volvió muy ameno gracias a la amabilidad de los anfitriones.
