Description
*Please check my calendar for availability, before you get in touch.
My name is Diego, 39 years old. I'm an architect who built a self-sustaining house in a very cool area in the Andes. I was born and raised in Lima, but moved to this region 7 years ago to start this project. The house is a lodging for tourists and it was built following the traditional way of building of the Andes of Peru.
Right now I need help to take care of my house on two different dates: one week in july and 5 weeks in december.
I am located in what we call the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a beautiful valley in the Andes of Cusco region. These place is one of the most touristic areas of Peru. I am located 2 hours away from Cusco city, one of the most important cities of Peru, and 30 minutes from the city of Urubamba. People come visit this area to enjoy the nature and to see many Inca sites and old towns, such as Maras, Moray, Ollantaytambo, Pisac and Machu Picchu.

Help
House sitting, taking care of two cats.
During your stay, it would be great if you could help with the garden and some other maintenance little things.
I need help in two different dates:
- July: from the 21st till the 28th
- December: from the 1st till january 5th (5 weeks).
The most important requirement is that you know how to drive my manual pickup truck and have a license, since the house is located 30 minutes from the city of Urubamba.
I'll need you to come one or two days before the scheduled date so I can explain everything to you and familiarize you with the house.

First of all, the place is truly spectacular. It is located above the Urubamba Valley (Sacred Valley), on a little traveled road coming from Maras. The views of the valley and snow-capped mountains are very special. It is a remote location but close to many places of interest such… read more
Very cool people! We had a great time! I was sad when they left.
