By Lorraine Caputo

El Arca Verde, The Green Ark is the name of an organic, bio-dynamic farm outside of Villa de Leyva. Guests lodge in the maloka, a traditional, round indigenous hut made of earth, stone and reused materials. The restaurant serves dishes prepared from the farm’s produce. The common room serves as a dorm, with beds around the perimeter of the space. Upstairs are two private rooms. A fireplace keeps the house warm on cool evenings. The shower is solar heated. Mariela and Pierre can teach visitors about agricultural biodynamics. It is possible to trade working on the farm for lodging.
