At this Colca Canyon glamping retreat, luxury and nature come together in their purest form.
Glamping experiences invite travelers to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with the natural world around them. Just 150 kilometers from Arequipa, in southern Peru, lies the majestic Colca Valley—a natural paradise framed by volcanoes, Andean landscapes, soothing hot springs, and charming, authentic villages such as Yanque, Sibayo, or Coporaque.
Rising between 2,900 and 4,500 meters above sea level, the renowned and awe-inspiring Colca Canyon stretches across the landscape. Considered one of the deepest canyons on Earth, it is also a privileged setting where the Andean condor soars freely through the skies. Within this grand environment sits a glamping camp that blends seamlessly into the surroundings, inspired by the spirit of the first explorers who arrived in the Colca region. This camp balances comfort with deep respect for nature. Its tents, wooden terraces, and adobe cabins are built in harmony with the land, ensuring that if they were ever removed, the landscape would remain almost entirely untouched.
Each tent evokes the early 20th century, with vintage objects used as décor that tell stories of another time. Warm fabrics, handcrafted details, and indoor fireplaces create a cozy, inviting atmosphere, while outdoor decks offer the perfect setting for an open-air lunch or a quiet read with the mountains as your backdrop. Some tents even feature outdoor showers and soaking tubs, delivering a deeply immersive and wonderfully indulgent experience.
At the heart of the camp stands the main lodge—a welcoming gathering place where the kitchen, dining area, and shared lounges encourage connection. Its culinary offering is one of the camp’s standout features, rivaling some of Lima’s finest restaurants. Thoughtfully curated menus highlight local ingredients such as lacayote squash and Arequipa papaya, while gourmet picnics add an extra touch for those who wish to dine along the trail during a hike.
Much like on a classic safari, expert guides accompany guests during daytime wildlife encounters or on walking and horseback journeys to nearby archaeological sites. Yet the true magic goes beyond spotting birds of prey or South American camelids roaming freely across the land. To complete the experience, refreshing outdoor showers and glowing fire pits set the scene as the sun slowly sinks over the Colca Canyon.
What is the Colca Canyon?
Declared a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2019, the Colca Canyon invites you to explore a land rich in living culture, scenic trekking routes, cycling paths, rafting adventures, and landscapes that feel almost unreal.
Here, you can enjoy truly unique and refined experiences—from visits to natural hot springs and botanical walks to routes leading to volcanic geysers and tours of archaeological sites such as Uyo-Uyo or Chimpa, where you can also witness the majestic flight of the Andean condor. Travelers can discover traditional villages like Sibayo and Canocota, where community-based tourism thrives and guests may stay in local homes, take part in textile workshops, or immerse themselves in everyday life through authentic community experiences.
In this way, the Colca Canyon reveals itself as a journey back to what truly matters—a place where silence, vastness, and authenticity come together, waiting for you to experience them fully. What are you waiting for to be part of it?
