Andean safari camp
It runs like an expedition camp on Incan farming terraces, where guided canyon treks give way to fire-cooked communal dinners.
“Puqio brings elevated, safari-style digs to the region of Peru known for the dramatic Colca Canyon, the 9-foot-wingspan Andean condor, and rich Incan roots.”

The hotel centers around a cozy, light-filled lodge where gourmet meals, prepared with local ingredients and cooked over open fires, are served family-style.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Ancient farming terraces surround the camp, with the ruins of Uyo Uyo in sight and thermal springs just down the valley.
The rooms
Canvas tents open onto private decks with open-air soaking tubs. Round adobe casitas have indoor clawfoot baths.
The hot tub
A cedar hot tub sits on a timber deck overlooking the Colca Valley and Sabancaya Volcano.
At the table
Bread bakes in outdoor clay ovens, and evening meals draw on produce harvested from the on-site gardens.
How it began
The name comes from the Quechua word for spring, referring to the natural water source found on the property.
