A cheerful couple stands on a lush mountain trail, holding round fruits, surrounded by greenery and misty mountains with a winding river visible below in the background.
Three people cross a shallow, rocky stream in a dense, green forest. Overhanging branches and mossy stones surround them, creating a wild and adventurous atmosphere.
Two dogs wearing small yellow hats sit on a tiled floor, looking up. A person in black pants and sneakers stands nearby in a cozy kitchen setting.

A stunning passion flower with white and purple petals hangs beneath large green leaves, intricate tendrils curling, set against a cloudy sky and distant mountain.
A two-story house with a balcony stands surrounded by lush greenery, viewed through a wire fence. Cloudy blue sky and overgrown plants dominate the peaceful scene.

    Description

    We are organic farmers from Canada. We have relocated with our two dogs from British Columbia, Canada and at present we rent a lovely house within walking distance of the Plaza de Armas in Oxapampa, Peru. We have found a lovely peice of land and we are in the process of starting development. The plan is to create a space that will nuture ones soul. There are alot of projects on the go so I won't mention them all, construction, estabishment of gardens and general plantings. Also hang out by the river and chill. Play music. No person was ever on their death bed and said they should have worked more, so balance is the key. Oxapampa is a wonderful place, clean, safe and near many beautiful sites. We are musicians and are involved in the local music scene. We love to cook and are exploring the local quisine. We are both long time vegetarians, we like to workout at our local gym, go for coffee and generally expeirence life in Peru.
