Hello you sent me the message above. Thank you for the response. I think this is exactly what I have been looking for. Is there any way you can tell me how much you would charge us for a room per night? There are six of us, but some would be willing to sleep on the floor if that would be alright with you. And also if you could tell me how much you would charge us to put up the tent? Is there actually a space where we could use it? Any other info you could send would be great! I would like to secure a place to stay before we arrive for two weeks to a month.

Thank you very much for your time and help!

WOW! What a place! Awesome man! I will greatly be greatly looking forward to coming there, God willing. For us it would be a dream come true!
Thank you very much for all your help, I greatly appreciate it! Are you Colombian?
We are not your typical back packers or tourists. We are very clean, responsible and respectful. We all speak near-perfect Spanish. I assure you that we would not cause any problems for you during our stay!
If you could answer a few more questions for me:
1). 42.000 col a night for staying in the field is about the same as $24.00 usd's right?
2). Would there be any type of bathrooms or showers that we could use? or even a BBQ or Kitchen?
3). What type of area are you in? Mountains? What are some of the main things people do in the area? Is there any access to hiking or back packing into the jungles?
4). What is the temperature at night? Is it like super freezing?
5). About how many hours are you from Bogotá?

I know that these are alot of Questions, but this would really help me out in my planing.

Thank you very much

I hope that God might bless you,

Hello again Joop,
How have you been? I am here in Bogota now. Wow! What an amazing country and people! I love it!
I just wondered if you might be able to help me again. I am trying to figure out the best way for may group to have a time of recreation in the mountains. There is a place near here called Suezca. Where it is in the mountains and they have many things to do there, it is only a few hours from here.
I am wondering if you could give me your honest opinion on if you think it is worth the time and effort to come to your place? Is it really beautiful? What is the weather like now. We really like it when it is cool or cooler than here in Bogota some nice light rain is really nice too. I know that you have kinda covered this in last posts but if maybe one more thime you could tell me what is there really to do there?
Are most the thing pretty expensive because it is in a tourist area? Like horse back riding any idea how much? Is there a place where we could actually climb a really high mountain, like 3,000-4,000 meters?
And last of all you you could tell me if you can catch a bus to Medellin from Armenia? Are you in Armenia or outside I cant find the name of that town on my maps.
I Know that I am asking for alot but I really really appreciate it i am trying to make this desision.

THank you very much.
