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.

TERRACING TO THE FRONT AND SIDE OF THE LIVING ROOM
With the terracing around the pool completed it was time to continue the work across the front of the living room and around the side to the front entrance.

CATS AND DOGS
Time to introduce our family.
Chasca (godess of princesses) and Sumaq (handsome), both Quechua names, were found by Ed in the market in Sucre. He bought them for £5/$7.50 each.
Dixie was in better shape but very timid.

Now they are fully grown and barely fit in their bed |
We adopted two puppies from an animal rescue organisation in Sucre.
Poor Cassi was so emaciated, her head was almost as big as her body. She had a severe limp from muscle wastage.
Dixie was in better shape but very timid.
Now they are beautiful, healthy six month old puppies, loving the space and freedom they have at Sky Hacienda.
