"In the realm of universities, the future is directly linked to the ability to connect local realities with the knowledge generated by researchers from other parts of the world. The experiences developed by the Lasallian Laboratory for Colombian Habitat Construction (LAB-LAHC) and teams of faculty and students from the Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe in Germany are presented as precedents. These experiences have allowed this research, to analyse, diagnose, and propose alternatives for rural habitat and nature tourism. The goal is to create solutions promoting well-being and enjoying environments that protect biodiversity. Through exercises and dialogues, we have recognized our realities and those of other contexts, expanded discussions, set new challenges, and strengthened bonds of friendship. These findings are presented reflectively and expositorily in this book."
