About the family
Arelis, originally from Florencia, Caquetá, spent her childhood in the El Para rural area. After working as a domestic employee in the city, her brother offered her the chance to collaborate on his farm milking. Eventually, in a strategic agreement, she exchanged her residence in Florencia for this property. Despite the adversities of the armed conflict and displacement and respecting her agricultural heritage, she sees cocoa cultivation as a profitable endeavor, remaining steadfast in her duty to protect the adjacent forest.
