Gracias por su apoyo,
en los próximos días quiero contactar directamente los responsables del proyecto, para que les vayan a enviar toda la información que necesitan sobre las bicimaquinas que quieren adquirir (precios, disponibilidad, entrega). Si les gusta voy a dejar sus contactos a las personas que ahora trabajan en el taller de San Andres, porque yo ahora no estoy ahí! Espero sus noticias…

[...] Left the colonial-styled streets of La Antigua, the road heads directly to the impressive Amatenango volcan, under which is placed the village of San Miguel Dueñas. Here, hidden by the green vegetation, we discover the “Estación Experimental Valhalla”, a project of sustainable agriculture dedicated to the production of macadamia nuts. The lovely people of the staff explain us that macadamia is a plant coming from Australia, whose properties have been extensively investigated in the last years and whose fruit is currently used in order to produce oils, cosmetics (facial creams), flour and many other products. Various hybrids of the two originary species of macadamia grow in the plantation, representing a botanical variety appreciated all over the world. The evergreen plants give fruits all the year round and easily adapt to different climatic conditions, moreover they allow to absorb much more carbon dioxide than many other plants and turn it into water vapor and oxygen. The nuts, once collected, are processed with a handmade sheller (maybe in the future it would be replaced by the bicycle nut-sheller, fruit of the collaboration with Maya Pedal) and left drying for a month, before being washed in order to obtain the end products. While we have an exquisite macadamia breakfast, we feel the enthusiasm demonstrated by the people who work in the plantation. They tell us they accept volunteers for the collection of the nuts and any person who could carry new and productive ideas in this activity. They already count on the enthusiastic support of the rural comunities, which are beginning projects of reforestation, planting macadamia instead of more aggressive cultivations. It’s another successful idea coming from people who love Guatemala and its land. For further information, visit their website: http://www.exvalhalla.net. [...]
