  Description

  After living and working - running an NGO about organic vegetable gardening and food security- for 13 years in Cusco, we decided to go ‘off the grid’ and live remote and in harmony with nature. Since December 2021 we are living a new dream. We are taking care of 22 hectares in the Amazone Cloud forest, at 1,800 m.a.s.l. We learn by doing and try to turn this land into a conservation area. Early stage still, step by step.
  We are 2 Dutch women, in our early fifties, ready to be conserved too;). We live here with our 4 dogs and 3 horses. We are absolute do—ers and passionated and willing to learn each day. That’s why we are looking for people with the same mindset: passionated and motivated to share skills, ideas and efforts with us in this new adventure. We are looking for people to help us setting up the organic vegetable garden.
