La pasión de Mardo por la protección del Páramo es contagiosa. Aprendimos mucho sobre la fauna y la flora nativa, sobre el trabajo en el campo, como lograr soberanía alimenticia y apreciamos mucho su artesanía. La casa era muy cómoda, los alrededores y paisajes hermosos, y los frailejones nos impresionaron. Y gracias a Mardo y a su mamá por abrirnos sus puertas, sus brazos y por todos los intercambios culinarios. Una cosa es segura es que no pasamos hambre!

Mi experiencia en el Campo fue muy bien! Mardo es un hombre muy especial con muchos ideas incredibles para el Páramo y el campo y mucho motivation. Tuve muchos momentos maravillosos con Mardo y su madre. También yo aprendí cosas nuevas! I had a great experience here! Mardo is a precious guy who has lots of great ideas for the Páramo as well as the motivation to make them come true. It was amazing to share beautiful memories and stories with him and his mom. I definitely take some good memories with me from this place and had the opportunity to learn many new things about the local culture.
