    Description

    Hi, we are a friendly family living in a adobe house in the nature of Carhuaz, my mom and my siblings. Due our jobs we stay here every now and then, however there will be always my mom and one of us here. Here is very strategic spot for discovering the area, we are in the middle of the highlights here, we do not have the very cold temperatures neither the hustle and bustle vibe of Huaraz, here is quiet and lovely, we are in the middle of the beautiful Cordillera Blanca, in the center of the National Park Huascaran. We love travelling and hiking here, around turquoise lakes and snow capped mountains. We have a farm where we grow different kind of vegetables and fruits, also guinea pigs.
    We want help in permaculture, in our farm and home.
    We live 400 meters from the main road very convenient for you to move around.
    We are open to all ideas ,would love to have more new or creative ideas of how to take the most of this app. We want you to enjoy the fullest with us.

    OPTIONAL:We ask for a weekly contribution to help us paying internet, electricity (Which is very expensive due to the use of our electrical machines, laundry machine and hot water). and food, of course this contribution towards electricity is completely voluntary and not a requirement for staying.

    *FOOD: We make it clear that contribution towards food won't be asked if You decide to source your own food

    Here, more than hard work it is having a experience to stay with a peruvian andean family and try delicious food!
    Help in the tasks at our land or home is only 10 hours a week.

    Hola, somos una familia con una casa de campo de adobe en la naturaleza de Carhuaz, mi mama y mis hermanos. Debido a nuestros trabajos nos quedamos aquí cuando podemos, sin embargo siempre esta aquí mi mama y uno de nosotros. Estamos en un lugar muy estratégico para descubrir el área, estamos en el medio de los mejores atractivos turísticos, no tenemos las muy frías temperaturas o el ajetreo de Huaraz, aquí es bonito y tranquilo, estamos en el medio de la hermosa Cordillera Blanca, en el centro del Parque Nacional Huascarán, nos gusta viajar y hacer caminatas, en las cercanas lagunas turquesas y montañas nevadas. Tenemos una chacra donde cultivamos diferentes tipos de verduras y frutas, también cuyes. Necesitamos ayuda en permacultura en nuestra tierra y casa.
    Vivimos a 400 metros de la via principal, muy conveniente para que puedas visitar todo
    Estamos abiertos a todas las ideas, nos encantaria ideas creativas o nuevas de como sacar lo mejor de esta aplicacion. Queremos que tu disfrutes totalmente con nosotros.
    Pedimos una contribucion semanal para que nos puedas ayudar a pagar las cuentas de internet, electricidad (el cual es caro debido al uso de la lavadora y el agua caliente) y comida, claro no es una obligación hacerlo y no es un requerimiento para que se puedan quedar. Hay que tener en cuenta que no somos un negocio y la ayuda es solo de 10 horas a la semana, aqui mas que trabajo duro es tener una experiencia de estar con una familia peruana y comer muy rico!
    La ayuda en las labores en el campo o en la casa es solo de 10 horas a la semana.

    COMIDA: aclaramos que la contribución respecto a la comida, no será necesaria si ustedes traen su propia comida.
