Who we are
Leany Valaencia Quintero & Andreas Mende

Leany is originally from Colombia and was born on the Pacific coast. She later lived with her family in Cali (Valle del Cauca, Colombia), where she studied fashion design. She is passionate about a wide variety of handicraft techniques and creates a wide variety of creations.

 

Andreas is a German geologist who has lived in Costa Rica for over 25 years. Initially, he spent five years working on a research project at the University of Costa Rica. He then established himself as an independent consultant in the fields of environmental/hydrogeology, risk analysis/prevention of natural disasters, and natural resource management.

 

Leany and Andreas initially lived in the capital, San José. Five years ago, they came to the Río Ora Valley, fascinated by its peace, quiet and harmony, as well as by the great diversity of its natural environment, including mountains, rivers, and beaches, as well as its flora and fauna. They love sharing this place with their guests and giving them all the help and advice they need to enjoy this place to the fullest, each according to their own taste.
