~ Inspired by dedicated people and exciting projects ~

I came to El Cuyo in 2023 - and fell in love. El Cuyo is a village with sincere people and impressive nature. I want to help keep it that way. The composting project is an important start - an overdue start towards more environmental awareness and protection.
