Qhispikay translates to "freedom" in Quechua. This initiative happens in the gardens of three families from Cusco's high Andean communities in Huiloc, Viacha, and Misminay.
Qhispikay is a circuit of three tent-like lodges that come with all the amenities to make your stay here unforgettable. Let's see more about this fancy and lovely accommodation.
To truly know a place, you must understand its environment, history, culture, and people. Qhispikay Sustainable Glamping invites visitors to fully experience Peru's environment. This campsite embodies the lively living culture of the Andes.
It serves as a location for sharing and learning from the Andean people, besides being a place just to sleep. Furthermore, it has no environmental impact, which makes it an eco-friendly lodge.
The skills these people know, they've passed on from generation to generation. For example, building adobe homes, dyeing, and weaving wool from alpacas or sheep.
Other methods that these people use are organic farming and traditional cooking methods. This glamping site is located in a place with great hikes, that we assure will amaze you, and it has innovative and delicious food.
The Viacha Glamping is near Pisac, one of the villages in the Sacred Valley. The glamping site is 3,900 meters above sea level. The Maqqe Family will be waiting for you to have a comfortable stay.
Huiloc Glamping is in the Huiloc community where approximately 900 people live. Near Huiloc, you’ll find Ollantaytambo, another city in the Sacred Valley. This little village is filled with ancient traditions yet to be discovered.
