About the family

Dora Inés and her family, originally from Garzón Huila, started a new chapter in their lives upon arriving in Doncello, guided by a land exchange opportunity. Inheriting the agricultural tradition from their parents, they chose cocoa cultivation, a visionary strategy to counteract the expansion of illicit plantations. With a deep-rooted commitment, Dora and her family dedicate themselves to preserving the surrounding forest.
