The Best And Worst Memories In San Antonio

We got to the last part of this interesting written interview with Ned Cresswell from the San Antonio Farm. In case you have missed any of the previous Q&A:

#1 From London to an isolated village in Ecuador

#2 Why sustainable tourism in San Antonio

#3 The hardest part

#4 The only foreigner in the village

#5:

What kind of people and families would enjoy visiting San Antonio?

I suspect that most people would enjoy at least a short visit to San Antonio, the obvious exception being those who feel miserable away from an urban environment.

The tranquility, absence of stress, beautiful views, and friendly locals, all make it a fine destination for families or individuals seeking a break from the noise and rush of big city life.

Those seeking a pristine jungle enviromnet will not be disappointed, with the Nature reserve right on our doorstep; while those seeking rural entertainments such as horseriding, walking, birdwatching, sugar production, and milking, will also find plenty to interest them. Lastly, our trips deep into the Nature Reserve are challenging enough to satisfy the most demanding extreme sports or adventure enthusiasts.

San Antonio is a working, living community, and so is not a suitable destination for those seeking total escape from human activity and influence: instead, we have tried to make a marriage between the natural, unspoilt wonders of the Nature Reserve, and the cultural activities which proudly display the realities of human life in an isolated, rural community. In short, San Antonio is a fine destination for those who seek and appreciate natural beauty, and who have also managed to make peace with the inevitable influence of human activity on the beautiful landscapes of Ecuador.

And finally my last question:

Tell us your best and worst memories from your life in San Antonio

Best memory: moments spent enjoying the amazing view across the misty espanse of jungle-clad peaks that is the Cotacachi-Cayapas Nature Reserve. An awesome sight!

Worst memory: The sound of chainsaws cutting down nearby native forests.
