Following a working holiday to Peru in the summer of 2007, the opportunity has arisen to get involved with building a sanctuary garden on the deepest canyon in the world.

Cabanaconde is a small town in the High Andes, Peru on the edge of the Colca canyon. The local Anglican church are building a retreat for all the villagers who trek from the far side of the 4000 ft canyon to come and trade in the town.

The building will provide a meal, somewhere safe to sleep and spiritual help to anyone who needs it. A courtyard, sanctuary garden is planned as part of the project, using local plants for their medicinal and healing qualities.

Funding is currently being sought for this exciting venture.
