PUQIO by Andean

A magnificent discovery in a splendid setting!

A place you'll carry in your heart forever. What was most special for me was the staff—everyone was lovely, professional, attentive, careful, helpful, and friendly! The menu design is very special, and it's much appreciated that they take such care with it, especially considering the altitude, to help the body acclimatize to the change. The excursions are fabulous, and our guide was even better! Yuli is a gem, incredibly dedicated, with a love for her roots that she conveys beautifully. The rooms are gorgeous, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of the place, and with that location surrounded by mountains and volcanoes, you'll take away unforgettable memories!

Wonderful, relaxing place and the food is great.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Puqio Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with such warmth and attention that it felt more like visiting close friends than staying at a hotel. The staff here go above and beyond in every way—whether it was helping us arrange last-minute tours, customizing breakfast to our tastes, or simply checking in to make sure we were comfortable, their care and professionalism stood out at every turn. The hotel itself is beautifully designed—modern and stylish, yet perfectly integrated with the stunning natural surroundings of Colca Valley. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and quiet, with lovely touches that made it feel like a boutique experience. But truly, it’s the exceptional service that makes Puqio Hotel unforgettable. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely kind, knowledgeable about the region, and eager to make our experience memorable. We left feeling recharged, inspired, and incredibly grateful. If you’re visiting Colca Valley, do yourself a favor—stay at Puqio. You won’t regret it.

Excellent hospitality by the staff. We got to choose our activities everyday, with enthusiastic guides who took us to fascinating places around Puqio. Food was very fresh- I remember so vividly the most exquisite grilled trout for dinner. All in all, this place offered an exquisite experience.

Our stay at @puqio_andean was one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave. It’s on the same level as @titilaka_andean, yet nothing feels the same — everything is a surprise. The attention to detail and the care put into every aspect of our time there is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. And it all comes with a genuine warmth and a laid-back vibe that’s hard to put into words. The design of the rooms and the main living-dining area is some of the most exquisite I’ve ever seen — refined without being pretentious, warm, and deeply inspiring. Every night, a small handmade gift is left in your room. One of those thoughtful gestures that makes you feel truly cared for. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the dinners. Beyond the beautifully set table and the meticulous attention to every detail (something we had already witnessed in previous experiences with @_andean), what stood out the most was the concept behind each meal. There’s no traditional menu — every dinner is called a celebration. Each night honors a specific ingredient or cooking method. During our stay, we experienced the celebration of quinoa, squash, and puchero. Puchero is a traditional Peruvian dish made with slowly boiled meats and a variety of vegetables, typically served with broth (similar to the Spanish cocido). Having such a familiar dish served in such an elevated setting isn’t something you see every day. To me, it’s a perfect reflection of what @_andean represents. And as if that wasn’t enough, every dinner begins with incredible (really, really incredible!!) homemade bread and flavoured butter that change every day. The excursions from Puqio were just as special. We did two hikes, one bike ride, and one horseback ride — all of them stunning in different ways. Two of these adventures ended with a spectacular picnic in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature and silence. Another example of how every moment at Puqio is carefully thought out, yet feels effortlessly magical. After a day out exploring, you can soak in one of the two wooden hot tubs overlooking the valley — a perfect way to wind down while taking in the landscape in silence.

Such a great place to stay, one of those "once in a lifetime" experiences. The service was super attentive, always friendly, and on point. The food was delicious and had that homey touch. The rooms were impecable and really comfortable. The guides were fun and very knowleagble. And the view was amazing. Definitely recommend it.

Incredible location and luxurious tents ! The service was excellent and the food exceptional!
