About the family

Fabio and his family are natives of Caquetá, but they used to reside in Bella Vista. They decided to acquire the farm where they currently live. Although his mother worked as a homemaker, Fabio and his family established coffee crops for their profitability and as part of programs to eradicate illicit crops. Despite occasional conflicts with wildlife, they maintain a steadfast commitment to tirelessly protect the forest, water, and the wildlife that inhabits their surroundings.
