About the family
Wilmer, originally from San José del Chocó, found a home on a farm that hid a treasure within its lands: ancient cocoa crops. Although he didn’t carry the scars of the armed conflict and embarked on this journey without his parents by his side, his respect and love for the land led him to make an admirable decision: to preserve and protect the forest surrounding the farm. His choice honors his legacy and signifies a commitment to the future and preserving the environment.
