About Us
Santiago and Anja with their son Emiliano Fabio are the founders of Tierra Amada since 2021.
Santiagos family has always lived at lake titicaca, in the countryside, in the world of agriculture, ranching and in contact with animals. He lived 35 years in Italy, without losing his conection and his love to his home country, and was always engaged in social projects for example for local women who knit traditional clothes. Since 2010 he lives again in Chucuito. He is a person who seeks a simple life. At Tierra Amada Santiago especially takes care of the organic agriculture and construccion. He is the owner of Posada Santa Barbara, and a passionate cook. Posada Santa Barbara is a beautiful small place to stay. Santiago offers his place for events, and vacation stays. He cooks italian and peruvian food and many times it is a fusion of the two cultures of foods so rich and delicious.
Anja worked many years as a Marketing Specialist and Quality Manager in different companies in Germany. Then she embarked on a different path as a Yoga instructor and natural practicioner with several terapeutic formations. Since 15 years Peru is part of her life. She Loves nature and animals. Always looking for personal development, she dedicates her energy now fully to the work at Tierra Amada. She loves to work with families, women, children and teenagers. She offers a unique combination of Yoga, Meditation, Horse guided Empowerment and Family Constellations with horses.
"We are happy to open Tierra Amada for national and international groups and for every being who appreciates nature, a beautiful view over the lake titikaka, animals, good healthy food, and silence…."
