Farm Stays in Upala

Joanna Canada

I had not put much thought into this place when I booked it. It was about half way between pin-pointed locations, seemed reasonably priced and, in pictures, looked like a lovely place to lay my head down for the night. For off the beaten path, this place was an absolute delight. A pure sanctuary of self-succifiency. Ernesto, the owner, came out to great me at once and directed me to my cabin. He could only be described as the perfect host, as he immediately made me feel welcome and right at home. Ernesto loved his property and was very passionate about eco-farming, and it showed in everything he did - from discussing his daily farm activities or sharing his vision to preparing our meal. Every item was either raised on his farm or harvested from his garden. Everything. This was a very special place, I was blessed to have met Ernesto and Leslie on this trip and I will be eternally grateful to have chosen this place.
