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.

GREAT PROGRESS WITH LIME RENDERING THE GARDEN WALLS


Making lime render is exactly the same process as for making lime wash.  We use fresh lime stones which, when added to water, produce a boiling liquid that gradually settles into a thick paste.  It's a messy process, but the lime render is the perfect protection for our adobe walls, keeping the rain from penetrating but allowing the earth inside to breathe.


David and Carmelo work well as a team and having finished the back wall behind the Roundhouse are now steaming around the inside of the rest of the garden wall.
