The idea for the Bonplandia Lab came from our wish to create a space where students could learn by doing and explore science for themselves.
What the lab does
The Bonplandia Laboratory Programme is an educational initiative that brings advanced scientific tools and resources to students and teachers. It encourages research and new ideas in botany and the natural sciences, with hands-on learning at its centre.
Part of Fundación Frailejones
Bonplandia is one of the programmes of Fundación Frailejones, the foundation behind Experiencia Cafetera's social work. Its mission is to improve the quality of life in rural communities in Colombia through education and community projects.
You can read about all its programmes on our social work page. And if you'd like to get to know rural Quindío yourself, take a look at our coffee region tours.
