The Experience
Our geothermal greenhouse and caretakers house is 3/4 complete. We need carpenters, plumbers, electricians, brick layers, and general help. We would also need people to build fences, stone walls, and landscaping. If anyone has experience in germination of a seed bank and/or biogas...that would be great. Our team rooms are in Cusco. Currently, in Caicay there is electricity and water. However, in Caicay there are no toilets or showers.

I love how its quality and vision intertwine to create a unique experience. From the moment you get involved, you're made to feel part of a family. The warmth and dedication of the team are palpable in every interaction. I highly recommend this project to anyone seeking authentic the project and a genuine sense of community. Cody is a person filled with experiences and knowledge that they generously share. It's a privilege to learn from someone who not only possesses profound knowledge but also radiates warmth and enthusiasm for sharing it.
