¡Esto es Casa Kigelia! Somos una familia de 5 personas (3 adultos, un niño y un bebé). La gestión del espacio la hacemos Ana Florencia (ilustradora, tatuadora, artista gráfica, músico y clown) y Gabriel (consultor agroforestal). Estamos en un pequeño pueblo en las montañas. A 20 minutos de Malinalco. Aquí viven también 5 perros, 3 gatos, 2 caballos y varias gallinas. En este espacio gestionamos una huerta de hortaliza, un vivero agroforestal, un Sistema Agroforestal Sintrópico (SAFS), y un camp de perros (negocio de pensión de perros). Nos gusta mucho compartir lo que hemos aprendido y aprender más de quienes nos rodean. Cada día hacemos: -Alimentar y atender a los caballos y gallinas. Y otras actividades como: -Manejo del huerto de hortaliza -Podas de árboles frutales y forestales. -Manejo del Sistema agroforestal sintrópico (SAFS) -Elaboración de compostas -Elaboración de fertilizantes naturales -Siembra de plántulas y árboles en el vivero -Acariciar perritos -Recolectar semillas -Mantenimiento a espacios y construcciones -Acariciar gatitos En algunos casos puede haber: -Proyectos de bioconstrucción El alojamiento es un cuarto amplio, cómodo e independiente de la casa principal. Cuenta con cocina y baño (seco) propio con regadera (húmeda) caliente. Internet de buena velocidad. preciosa vista y un fogón de leña para el frío. En casa cocinamos diariamente alimentos saludables, deliciosos y vegetarianos/veganos con productos que cosechamos y compramos en el mercado local. Los desayunos y comidas serán con toda la familia, con cenas opcionales. Nos gusta mucho la gente con mente y corazones abiertos a vivir la experiencia en la montaña. Tenemos muchos instrumentos musicales, nos gusta cocinar, sembrar, y acariciar animales. Nos gusta montar a caballo (a nuestra yegua Mora), y podríamos organizar cabalgatas con los WOOFERs interesados. A 10 minutos a pie hay un gran bosque con muchos senderos, un río con pozas para nadar, y muchos cerros para subir. En la comunidad hay varios temazcales a la semana. ---------------------- This is Casa Kigelia! We are a family of five (three adults and two children). The space is managed by Ana Florencia (illustrator, tattoo artist, graphic artist, musician, and clown) and Gabriel (agroforestry consultant). We are located in a small town in the mountains, 20 minutes from Malinalco. We also have five dogs, three cats, two horses, and several chickens living here. In this space, we manage a vegetable garden, an agroforestry nursery, a Syntropic Agroforestry System (SAFS), and a dog camp (dog boarding business). We love sharing what we've learned and learning more from those around us. Every day we do the following: - Feeding and caring for the horses and chickens. And other activities such as: - Managing the vegetable garden - Pruning fruit and forest trees - Managing the Syntropic Agroforestry System (SAFS) - Making compost - Making natural fertilizers - Planting seedlings and trees in the nursery - Petting dogs - Collecting seeds - Maintaining spaces and buildings - Petting kittens In some cases, there may be: - Green building projects The accommodation is a spacious, comfortable room separate from the main house. It has a kitchen and its own (dry) bathroom with a hot (wet) shower. Fast internet, beautiful views, and a wood-burning stove for the cold. At home, we cook healthy, delicious, vegetarian/vegan meals daily with produce we harvest and buy at the local market. Breakfast and lunch will be shared with the whole family, with optional dinners. We really like people with open minds and hearts willing to experience the mountains. We have many musical instruments, we enjoy cooking, planting, and petting animals. We enjoy horseback riding (our mare, Mora), and we could organize rides with interested WOOFERs. A 10-minute walk away is a large forest with many trails, a river with swimming holes, and many hills to climb. There are several temazcals in the community each week.

The best wwoof experience i’ve had so far please give this family all the respect and love you can when you visit, I’ll miss those horses and dogs dearly and Gabi and Momo taught me so much that I’ll never forget about life and animal caretaking. 10/10 Thank you guys for everything

Casa Kigelia fue mi primer destino wwoofer y no creo que pude haber escogido mejor lugar para empezar mis voluntariados. Gabriel y Momo son bellísimas personas y se esmeraron diariamente por hacer mi estancia lo más agradable y fructífera posible. Todos los días comí delicioso, dormí cómoda y segura y trabajé lo suficiente para aprender y también tener tiempo para mí. Hay mucho espacio para convivir con animalitos, disfrutar de la natrualeza y convivir con personas muy enriquecedoras. Las actividades que realizé fueron variadas (desde alimentar animales, limpiarles sus espacios, hacer almacigos, bokashi hasta reparar un corral o cavar hoyos para postes) y si vas con ganas de aprender sobre la tierra y la vida fuera de la ciudad, Casa Kigelia es una gran escuela.

Momo and Gabriel and the whole family at Casa Kigelia have really been wonderful. It was the last part of my three month long trip in Mexico which was really a great way to end it. It has been great getting to know them as well as syntropic farming. This was my very first woofing experience as well and I couldn't have had a better experience, great family and home, still having your own separate space and shower, amazing food and all within a truly beautiful landscape. I learnt a lot on what it takes to live and work on a farm and loved that there were so many animals as well. The dogs have been an absolute highlight for me, so many cuddles and playing with them, it was great. I can totally recommend for anyone to visit the Casa Kigelia, I've gone bird watching with one of their friends, there's a lovely cafe close by and open on the weekends, it's really a lovely community as well. Thank you again so much for having me, for the interesting and fun conversations and just for beeing so welcoming! Also as others have said before as well but Momo's food truly has been delicious!

Had a wonderful time at Casa Kigelia! The farm is small and homely with 2 horses, chickens and all the doggos you could wish for! I lucked out with my room which was a whole private casita with its own kitchen and a log burner — Momo and Gaby were incredible hosts, making sure I had everything I needed during my stay, patient with my Spanish and proficient in English when I reached my limit(!) Momo’s food is amazing too and you’ll never go hungry!! There’s lots of work to be done on the garden and working with compost, but you’ll learn a lot along the way and have plenty of down time. 100% recommend visiting the waterfalls and birdwatching in the nearby forest. Chalma is a very cool place to visit too :) Thank you for everything !! Miss you already

Staying in such an amazing environment where beautiful nature, animals, and people live together in harmony has become a once-in-a-lifetime memory for me. The host family was very kind and friendly, and they welcomed me as a part of their family! I am deeply grateful for the meaningful cultural exchange, as well as the healthy and delicious meals I enjoyed every day. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves nature. ¡Muchas gracias por todo!

I had an amazing time with Gabi, Ana and the rest of the family (including the cats, dogs, chickens and horses) in their home in the mountains. They were super welcoming hosts, the work was fun and varied, and the accomodation is great - a room with it's own kitchen and bathroom just outside! The space felt very peaceful and special, it was a kind of calm that is hard to find in the UK. They were both super patient with my Spanish learning too! Thank you both so much for a wonderful stay
