Yakurumi Tipis & Camping in Caraz

Yakurumi Tipis

Peru holds several little secrets, such as Caraz, a tiny, gorgeous village 8 hours driving from Lima, and 2 hours from Huaraz. Yes, it seems kind of far from the big city; however, it’s totally worth it. This village holds attractions, food, adventures, and places to discover.

When in Caraz, one of the places you should think about spending your stay is Yakurumi tipi tents. A “tipi” is a round lodge tent that differs from other conical tents by smoky flaps at its highest point. It is typically made of leather or skins, but more recently, they have been made of cloth on a framework of wooden poles. The word “tipi” comes from a native American language called Dakota.

Experiencing Yakurumi

Yaku Rumi is a 'Tipi and Tent Campground' in central Peru's “Cordillera Blanca” next to Huascarán National Park. It's situated alongside the Llullán River, just outside of Caraz, on the way to Laguna Paron. Imagine waking up in a huge and one-of-a-kind tent surrounded by the majestic Andes: the tipi tents in Yakurumi provide just that. 

These traditional-style tents are more than just shelters because they connect you with ancient indigenous cultures and allow you to experience nomadic existence. They do so in a comfortable and modern way, as each tent contains beds and bedding and is comfy and of great quality. These tipi tents will provide you with a relaxing night's sleep in nature.

In an increasingly technologically connected society, being able to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature is a priceless gift.
