Arteventura offers services and experiences that contribute to environmental sustainability and knowledge of the environment. Enjoy nature with awareness and respect. In the entire region barter has been the traditional form of trade. You build my fences? Then I will let your horses graze here. You have got too many apples? I have got more nuts than I can eat. Artists are also welcome at the neighbours to buy eggs, fruit, vegetables,.. (seasonal). Artist are invited to participate in the whole eco-philosophy of the finca, and those want, are welcome to help out. The profits will be shared with you. Crosspollination in all directions.
