It was an amazing adventure to go to Peru and teach a permaculture design course in the andes 4000 meter high, the local quechua people was incredible and we had a lot of fun...
Big hug to all the peruvians, and hope to see you soon again ;)

Permaculcture Design Course in the Andes of Peru this February
PDC in the Andes
The Ka’Way Monti School ofSustainability is
hosting a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) this Feb 18 until Feb 29
with Helder Valente that will be supporting the development of the permaculture
school.
Ka’Way Monti is a sustainable community in progress located up in the Cordillera
Blanca of Peru.
Our School of Sustainability is aimed at spreading our knowledge
of permaculture farming practices, sustainable technologies, and holistic living
with enthusiastic students from around the world as well as our neighboring
Quechua villagers in the Andes
We aim to use this school, and community, as an experimental testing ground to
develop a way of retaining our currently unsustainable comforts in a sustainable
way.
This PDC course provides students with the live-in opportunity to learn how to
transform land in an arid, high altitude (3,700 meters) plain into a lush,
self-sustaining landscape with a bounty of food filled with ponds and
waterfalls.
Through class room studies and surveying the lands you’ll be living
and eating on, this class of 15 students will be provided the freedom to
explore and determine the structure of our food producing landscape for the
community to come
Loaded with exercises and lectures in an overall
design project across an acre of land, on our 18 hectare expanse, students will
be given a wide variety of ways to absorb the principles and concepts we have to
teach of Permaculture design. It is our utmost desire to ensure that when a
student leaves our school it is not with just a slip of paper and a stamp, but
more importantly with ingrained second nature knowledge.
Classes will be held in English and Spanish, so
any and all bilingual students in these languages are encouraged to apply
Tuition for the course is S/.1,000 ($400 USD, €300,
or £240) which covers the lessons, housing, and 3 daily meals for
the 12 days. Living standards include a bed in a dormitory style home complete
with down comforters, a shared bath with hot water, and cubby to store your
things

This 10 day PDC course provides
students with the live-in opportunity to learn how to transform land
in an arid, high altitude (3,700 meters) plain into a lush,
self-sustaining landscape with a bounty of food filled with ponds and
waterfalls. Through class room studies and surveying the lands

with ingrained second nature knowledge.
Classes will be held in English and
Spanish, so any and all bilingual students in these languages are
encouraged to apply.
A small portion of the students will be local
farmers from the villages of Llupa and Unchus nearby as we feel it’s
essential to share this knowledge locally as well as globally and
provide a venue for the intermingling of as many cultures as possible
in this environment of learning.
Tuition for the course is S/.1,000
($400 USD, €300, or £240) which
covers the lessons, housing, and 3 daily meals for the 10 days.
Living standards include a bed in a dormitory style home complete
with down comforters, a shared bath with hot water, and
cubby to store your things.
Meals are prepared by a professional
cook with food harvested in our first field and from the local market
place.
All special dietary needs are catered to with the greatest of care and attention to specifics. Rooms are also cleaned, linens changed, etc. on a regular basis by staff to ensure a warm presence of home without you having to work after a hard day’s work. It also is very good for the local village’s economy.
