Greetings from our place on the hillside of Pachatusan Mountain,
that is located in The Sacred Valley of the Peruvian Andes
in Latin America of our beautiful Earth that is hovering in space…
The Andes: We are up on the Andes Mountains,
stretching like a wall along the western edge of the continent,
separating the Amazon Rainforest from the Atacama Desert.
Around Lake Titicaca—set at 3,810 meters—the mountains widen on an east–west axis,
opening living space for some of the continent’s most intact Indigenous peoples
(who have not mixed with Hispanic populations).
At the northern end of this high plateau region, called the Altiplano,
lies Cusco —the former capital of the Inca civilization.
The city sits on a plain shaped—and protected—
by many mountains whose peaks rise to around 6,000 meters.
Each of the valleys formed by these high mountains is beautiful in its own way,
but the Sacred Valley of Incas is something else entirely.
Sacred Valley, which also includes Machu Picchu, is a region where Quechua communities live,
and it draws travellers from all over the world.
Our home is in San Salvador, one of the towns within the valley.
Our home is built at a point where the Urubamba (Vilcanota) River reaches 3,000 meters in altitude, on the slopes of a sacred mountain called Pachatusan.
We are 2.5 km from town, in the middle of corn/quinoa and Kiwicha fields.

It’s hard to explain what roads mean when you live in a secluded corner like Andes.
We say goodbye because of roads, yet we reunite thanks to the same roads.
May our path be clear,
