PUQIO By Andean
In the highlands of Peru’s Colca Valley, PUQIO by Andean is an intimate tented retreat near the village of Yanque, created around exploration, local culture, and the dramatic landscapes of the Andes. Its accommodations take three forms: spacious canvas Carpa tents, the more expansive Carpa Refugio, and adobe Pirca rooms, all designed with wood-burning stoves, private outdoor spaces, and views into the valley. Days can be tailored to your pace, from short walks around the property and visits to nearby villages and archaeological sites to longer canyon hikes, high-altitude excursions, and more remote expeditions. The experience centers on the landscape rather than conventional resort amenities, with open-air gathering spaces, clay ovens, and meals inspired by seasonal Andean ingredients. Located about three hours from Arequipa, PUQIO makes a natural base for discovering the Colca Valley beyond the canyon’s better-known viewpoints.
