  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We are located in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas which is primarily an indigenous culture, speaking Quechua and Spanish. We are surrounded by ancient Incan ruins throughout the Sacred Valley. The culture of this valley dates to Pre-Incan times. In the environment, travellers can learn about ancient Incan or current Quechua cultures. On the farm, travellers can learn organic farming, bio-intensive disciplines, metaphysical studies, plant medicines and producing natural products.

  Algo más...

  We are located in the center of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We are at 2900 metres/ 9600 ft. elevation in the Andes mountains. We are 1 hour from Cusco, and 1 hour from Ollantayatambo where you catch the 2 hour train to Macchu Picchu. We are surrounded by ancient Incan waterways and terraced farming which is actively used today and has been in continual use since pre-Incan times. Incan and pre-Incan ruins are scattered throughout the valley. This region is the original source of tomatoes, potatoes and many other varieties we take for granted (there are 4500 varieties of WILD potatoes in this area). In fact, this area was the farming and food storage center for the entire Incan empire (Bolivia to Ecuador). The soil, water and sun in this region produce continual crops all year.
