Kim´s Story of Volunteering in Cusco with Loki this Week....

Lucre, Monday 12 July

We visited children in Lucre today. After
handing out juice and milk to patient waiting lines of thirsty children
we got down and dirty with the kids - drawing and colouring with
crayons was great fun and lots of the children wanted pictures of capobera,
not so easy to draw!

Loki Cusco has Grown!

Last weekend we opened the first wing of our new extension, allowing room for 44 extra Loki guests every night.   We now have 6 new small dorms, 2 new large dorms, and a 3rd sun filled courtyard. 

We celebrated the grand opening with a huge party on Friday night with a full house.  This was a great kickoff to the start of the World Cup, which has got us all glued to the TV every day, sporting our favourite team t shirts all the way.

If you havent heard already, Loki Cusco is growing and its only 2 weeks till we open the first stage on the 11th of June just in time to have some extra beds for the biggest sporting event in the world; the World Cup!!!

Restoration work on the 250 year old run down house started back in early February with 8 construction workers concentrating on the structural side of things such as roof framing, foundations and wall bracing/re-enforcing, all of which has since been completed.

THE NEW "SUPER BOILER" has been installed and as of this morning is pumping out lovely steaming hot water for you guys! 

Loki Loves Hot Water.

Loki Cusco is growing!!!  We are currently in the process of restoring our recently aquired 250 year old building conveniently located right next door with the long term aim of having an additional 130 beds(spread across all different room types), more common areas and space to chill out in.

Hey Everyone,

Some of you might be interested in the continuing dispute between Loki and the Lonely Planet. We have been in email correspondence with the only Lonely Planet staffer who will engage with us.  Here are a few quotes from the email exchange that we are having:

I drink to your health when I’m with you,
I drink to your health when I’m alone,
I drink to your health so often,
I’m starting to worry about my own!
