truequé vol. vi: escrituras hechizadas
The TrueQué residence will take place in a large house in the town of Ayampe in the province of Manabita, on the coast of Ecuador, Pacific Ocean. It is a village of no more than 500 inhabitants, where the original residents are mainly dedicated to the production of tagua, coffee, seafood, wood, besides the tourism that has begun to develop in the area. In the mountains surrounding this beautiful place there are the last tropical rainforests that grow near the sea. It is a place rich in flora where the sound of the sea prevails in the breeze.
Please note that the residence does not have a printer, air conditioner or washing machine (there is a manual washing machine), but all other household equipment is quite complete. It is not necessary to bring a sleeping bag, in the residence we will provide clean sheets for everyone. If you are a cold person we recommend you to bring an extra blanket.
