A place covered in magic and charm, where a large part of Colombia’s water sources converge, enhances its majesty on the horizon with the largest paramo around the world, which looks from its top at the living environment that surrounds it, between the air of the plants and the beautiful frailejones covered by the cold of the fog.
There, its living nature stands out imposingly in a calm and fresh environment, where spectacled bears, deer and eagles can be seen breathing clean air, which is meticulously surrounded by the green, terracotta and yellowish pastures that extend in its vegetal space.
Next to it stands ‘La Casita Feliz’, a reserve that was born thanks to the inspiration of Javier Molano, his son Javi and Gonzalo Sanchez, who filled it with ideas and initiatives, seeking to generate changes and awareness to preserve, protect , care for and recover the country’s moors.
His noble cause began in the ‘Sumapaz Paramo’, with environmental and social projects focused on educating, guiding and helping the community in the area, as well as raising awareness in the country and the world about the importance of this beautiful natural ecosystem.
Your latent commitment
Its management includes conservatories on threats and impacts, guidance and improvement in the quality of life of peasants, educational outings to the Paramo, ecotourism, agrotourism, reforestation campaigns, training, scientific research; creation, use and maintenance of organic gardens, planting of frailejones and native forests.
In addition, it promotes the donation of books to create the first library in the area, the collection of Christmas gifts for children from the neighboring villages of Curubital and Arrayanes; and photographic meetings, to show the landscape and geography of the region.
These activities have had the support of the National Army High Mountain Battalion – Biter, the Faculty of Environmental Studies of the Javeriana University, International Conservation Colombia, Invocu, El Espectador, Zenit, CasaNova Foto, Hoja Verde Foundation, App Zone Web, Colombia Unexplored and Doris Orozco, head of the sector population.
The Natural Reserve of the Civil Society ‘La Casita Feliz’ has in its heart the ‘Sumapaz Paramo’, where it offers you new experiences, knowledge and support from a team full of synergy, talent and dedication to preserve this paradise located in Cundinamarca, Colombia.
