ABOUT US
My husband and I are running a small, family business and we think of every person staying here like one of our family. We can help arrange transport, find local activities to fill your days, lead you up a hiking trail, or give advice on your travels through Peru. Whether it's recommending great local restaurants, having thoughtful conversation or lending you a water bottle for your hike, we want to make sure you feel like you're at home. We left the corporate grind (rock & roll stage building and Fortune 500 marketing and design) to have a quiet balanced life in harmony with nature. We found our passion in making this space peaceful, functional, and beautiful for ourselves and our friends and creating a community that can really connect on things that matter. THE NEIGHBORHOOD
