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.

CARNAVAL YOTALA

Oruro is the best place to be in Bolivia for Carnaval, but it is an exhausting and expensive experience.   By contrast Yotala, our nearest town, is a more intimate setting for the festivities.

Emergency ponchos are a good way to stay dry
No-one is too young to be skilled with the water guns
