About the family
Santos arrived with his family from Huila, displaced by the armed conflict and hoping for a better life in Caquetá. With his parents, he formed his agricultural vocation, approaching Amazonian cocoa from a young age, thus dedicating his life to learning about the sustainable management of this crop and conserving the biodiversity surrounding his property.
