H u a y p o L a k e // What a profound experience H u a y p o  L a k e // What a profound experience at Huaypo Lake in Chinchero, amidst a beautiful calm that energizes, soothes and inspires.

Located at an altitude of 12,139 feet (3,700 meters) with a depth ranging from 20 to 50 meters, perfect for swimming, stand up paddling, kayaking and canoeing.

We walked toward the lake and time stopped. We were there for a long while contemplating the views. Immersing our feet in the delicious cold water. Watching the birds floating, taking in the sounds of the ripples and wildlife.

I could wake up here everyday. 

Such beauty, majesty… It felt like eternity. It is aptly named the Sacred Valley for its magnificence.

From there we went along the road to take in some more gorgeous scenery of Chinchero fields, chacras, the Vilcabamba mountain range and Salkantay peak. 

Chinchero is known for having some of the richest and fertile soil in the Sacred Valley.

T e ñ i d o // In Chinchero, we visited an artisa T e ñ i d o // In Chinchero, we visited an artisan who showed us how she dyes her yarns prior to hand weaving them into stunning textiles.

They use plant dyes, such as leaves, bark, flowers, corn, tubers, earthen clays (and insects) to achieve a large amount of beautiful and rich colors.

They also make their own yarns and threads. Hand washing the fibers to an almost white, ready to take the color. While she showed us the process without the boiling part, to achieve the desired colors, the yarns are always boiled in water with the natural dye and a fixer to set the desired color.

J u x t a p o s e // Winter beauty in the north, j J u x t a p o s e // Winter beauty in the north, jungle beauty in the south.

It’s so wonderful to see all the snow at home in Idaho and enjoy the jungle in Peru.

While being physically apart for a number of months in the year, as I (Vio) accompany and help my aging mom in Peru, Dylan and I are connected through our hearts and thoughts. I feel Dylan with me all the time. We talk daily before we turn in at night, especially.

I love to see all the gorgeous work he does from the pictures he sends me, as I also develop my small capsule collections in Lima, make some art, do a little traveling within my home country and enjoy the ocean in the southern summer months.

What a deliciously cold plunge we took back before Dylan bought the land in the forest of Idaho.

Our beautiful Dutchy ‘Tila aka Atila was still with us. It was always so funny and adorable to hear him bark at bodies of water. It’s so heartwarming to see and hear him again in these videos. Dogs are the best!

C u s h u r o + F r u i t s // One of the most am C u s h u r o +  F r u i t s // One of the most amazing things about being in Peru for a chunk of the year is the variety of fresh fruits and a plethora of foods that don’t grow or exist anywhere else in the world, like Cushuro.

Cushuro is a highly nutritious algae that blooms in lakes and rivers in the highlands of Peru.

It looks like boba pearls with a gelatinous texture and tastes like fresh water. It can be prepared in a variety of ways. Add it to salads, soups, fruit bowls, sautés, any meal in my recipe book and anything you can imagine .

It is rich in iron and protein and contains all the essential amino acids. Plus it has vitamins B1, B2, B5 and B8, and is high in calcium and phosphorus.

It is beneficial for supplying collagen to the skin, improves heart function, strengthens immunity and the nervous system and detoxifies.

Wellbeing + Health = Wealth 

Rich flavor and nutrition are a perfect combination. Every time I prepare a meal for visiting friends who aren’t vegan, they say if they could eat this deliciously every day, they’d switch. I love the sound of that.

Plant food is a path toward a compassionate vegan lifestyle. When we live our lives and nourish our temples without the abuse of animals, we embrace compassion on all levels. The cleaner the temple, the more harmony we experience on Earth.

Visit the link in bio r i c h + v e g a n recipes - published on pdf for all to easily download worldwide anytime, anywhere.

Why only in digital format? Because it saves trees and precious resources that go into the making of a physical book.

You can always print it, preferably on tree-free or recycled paper.

Don’t forget to like my posts and follow @richveganrecipes as I add more whole organic plant food deliciousness here.

“This is a blade design that works great for many purposes. I’ve been carrying a nearly identical one for a while now. 

“The handle wraps I do on many of my knives provide an amazing grip. Almost like rubber, yet the leather is surprisingly rigid due to the tightness of the wrapping technique. I would consider this type of handle to be preferable over all but the most aggressively textured handle materials.”

H a n d W o v e n T e x t i l e s // Beautiful t H a n d  W o v e n  T e x t i l e s // Beautiful textiles handwoven by talented artisans in the mountains and jungles of Peru.

Ikat de Cajamarca are exquisite textiles from the area where my family is from in Peru. In Cajamarca, they are known as “paño de leche” because they are used to cover babies as they breastfeed.

The process is a laborious mathematical method where strands are selected and separated for the indigo dying process to create the intricate patterns as they are woven. They are finished with a beautiful hand-knotted lace, ending with a long twisted fringe. Each takes over a month to hand weave by master artisan + weaver Laura Sanchez.

The Plaid Native Cotton textile is hand woven by Kichwa artisans in the Wayku community in Lamas, San Martin, in the Peruvian Amazon. The wild native cotton fibre grows in their communities. It’s harvested and made into thread. The thread is used in its natural colors and also dyed with plants. It is woven into a textile in plaids, stripes or other patterns. From its growing and harvest seasons, to hand spinning it into a thread, dying and hand weaving, they take a few months to make.

These textiles are true works of art.

They can be worn as throws, displayed over a piece of furniture or sofa to use on a cool day, and hung as wall art.

These aren’t on the website, so DM me. Some have already been sold.

Shown with my @violetavillacorta_studio organic cotton clothing and Cofan necklace from the Ecuadorian Amazon @junglebling jewelry.

K w i c h a T e x t i l e // This gorgeous textil K w i c h a  T e x t i l e // This gorgeous textile is hand woven by Kichwa artisans from the Wayku community in Lamas, San Martin in the Peruvian Amazon jungle.

The wild cotton grows in their territory. They harvest wild cotton, spin into thread, dye it with plants and then weave the threads into exquisite textiles.

The process from growing, harvesting, making thread, dyeing and weaving takes months to complete.

The texture is nubby, as the cotton threads are spun by hand irregularly. It is warm and has a sturdy weight.

It can be worn as a throw in cooler weather, and can also be hung as wall art or displayed over a sofa or furniture piece.

When I saw it, I fell in love with it. It is a precious handcrafted piece of wearable art.

$350

While in Peru, I did a thread making workshop @estudiokop in my friends’ store @kop.peru in Barranco.

I got so hooked, I would take out my pushka spindle and some raw native cotton and spin thread in the taxis, while walking, at home, every where.

Making thread with a pushka spindle is so good, meditative and soulful.

In the background is my buttery soft @violetavillacorta_studio clothing collection made with organic cotton grown by small family farms in Peru, and dyed with plants in the Peruvian Amazon jungle.

They feel so good on their own and worn layered, as the weather warms up or cools down.

M a k i n g T h r e a d I I // While in Peru, I M a k i n g  T h r e a d  I I // While in Peru, I did a thread making workshop @estudiokop in my friends’ store @kop.peru in Barranco.

I got so hooked, I would take out my pushka spindle and some raw native cotton and spin thread in the taxis, while walking, at home, every where.

Making thread with a pushka spindle is so good, meditative and soulful.

In the background is my buttery soft @violetavillacorta_studio clothing collection made with organic cotton grown by small family farms in Peru, and dyed with plants in the Peruvian Amazon jungle.

They feel so good on their own and worn layered, as the weather warms up or cools down.

The next frame features the ORG BY VIO @junglebling jewelry hand beaded by the talented Awajun artisans @kumpia_artesania_awajun in the Peruvian jungle.
