We can highly recommend stopping at the beautiful Lupita Vinicunca Lodge!|We had breakfast and lunch there on the way and return towards Waqra Pucara and Palcoyo. The location is well located to take a break on the way to and from these destinations. It is very modern and clean and we were welcomed warmly by Luís and his family.

The food was delicious, made with quality ingredients, a generous portion, and excellent...

Again, the fresh fish lunch was delicious. Both meals were very reasonably priced too. Luis, who speaks excellent English, and Lucy are very efficient, friendly, and do a wonderful job of catering to the needs of the customers. I hope they can open a lodging...
