Tourist and Cultural Center "Pucara Tambo" — Local services in Cacha

The huts are all facing a small central cobble stoned "avenida" surrounded by nature (they have a very nice herbal garden, native flowers everywhere and a free lama and alpaca roaming around) and and two main communal buildings: one displaying some local traditions artifacts and the history of the community, and the other one hosting the small restaurants and the "Cinema Andino" (where we watched a video filmed in the indigenous language after dinner). ||The room was quite spacious and clean, even though we suffered the cold because the small heater wasn't enough to heat the entire hut for the freezing 6 degrees max of the summer there at 3200 mts!

We absolutely loved our month stay at Pucaratambo! We were treated like family. The food was delicious, the cultural center and surrounding area is beautiful, and our lodge was clean, nice, and comfortable for our family of 6 (including young children). We appreciated that there was space for our children to explore and play, and loved that they have alpacas, cuy, and rabbits. We had cooking classes, art classes, and a dance class. We had a bonfire one evening in their firepit. Segundo and Angie helped us set up several of our adventures and tours in the area. We'd give...
