Description
My name is Diego, 37 years old. I'm an architect who just finished a self-sustaining house in a very cool area in the Andes. I was born and raised in Lima, but moved to this region 5 years ago to start this project. The house is meant to be a hotel soon and it was built following the traditional way of building of the Andes of Peru.
I need help for some things related to some house finishes and gardening.
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.

The food will be healthy and the requirements of the guests will be taken into account. Lots of vegetables since this area is very fertile and abundant because of its wonderful weather. I am a great cook and enjoy cooking a lot, so it will be a pleasure for me to feed you every day.

The house is located 20 km away from the city of Urubamba. I have a car and I go to the town very often, you can come with me when you need to. You can go to the city in the weekends, have fun, enjoy some nightlife or good restaurants.

Very cool people! We had a great time! I was sad when they left.

Absolutely the entire experience was very positive.
