It started with the purchase of 11 acres of rural land in Yotala, 25 mins from the Unesco World Heritage Site of the city of Sucre, Bolivia. 3 years later we opened as a small boutique hotel to recoup our investment, gaining top ratings locally and nationally. 4 years later we closed and reclaimed Sky Hacienda as our home. The creation of a development of plots of land in the grounds now gives our buyers the same all-year-round temperate climate and amazing views we enjoy. www.skyhacienda.com
ABOUT SKY HACIENDA
June Donaldson and Edward Garry live at an altitude of 2,600 metres in Mosoj Llajta, Yotala, 20 minutes from the colonial city of Sucre in Bolivia, South America. Using earth and stones from the land, we have sculpted beautiful buildings which compliment the high desert landscape and incorporate creative and innovative elements of design.
We have designed a high quality hotel in Sucre for guests who want to get off the treadmill of travelling from city to city in South America. At Sky Hacienda you can dictate your own timing and choose how to enjoy your stay, whether it is doing very little or exploring the best that the Andes in Bolivia has to offer.

EVERYTHING IS GOING UP....
Juan, our youngest worker at 16, is going up - with buckets of adobe mortar for his maestro to use to fix the bricks together.
The central column is going up - looking more and more like a beefy tree trunk with every added concrete ring.
The cow is going up, seemingly walking along our garden wall!
The walls are going up............
And the four 5 metre columns that will be filled with glass are finally completed, after four patient and dedicated months by Geronimo and Freddy. All the stones were selected from the land and carefully placed in position, day after day, week after week.
