Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get to Hospedaje American's from Cusco, and what should we pack for the journey?

We recommend arranging a private transfer directly from Cusco; it’s about a four-hour drive, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking. Pack layers, as the altitude can make mornings and evenings quite chilly, even if the days are warm. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes for exploring the lodge grounds and the nearby Circuito De Pichana.

Beyond exploring Circuito De Pichana, what other unique experiences does Hospedaje American's offer?

While Circuito De Pichana is the main draw, we love the lodge's focus on local culture. They often organize visits to nearby weaving communities, which is a fantastic opportunity to see traditional crafts firsthand. The stargazing here is also phenomenal, far from any light pollution, making for truly unforgettable nights.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see around Hospedaje American's, and are there specific times of day that are best?

The area around Circuito De Pichana is known for its diverse birdlife, so keep your binoculars handy for sightings of Andean condors and various hummingbirds. We've also spotted viscachas, which are like chinchillas, darting among the rocks. Early mornings and late afternoons are generally the most active times for wildlife viewing.

We're concerned about altitude sickness. What advice do you have for acclimatizing at Hospedaje American's?

Hospedaje American's is situated at a significant altitude, so taking it easy on your first day is key. We advise drinking plenty of water, avoiding alcohol initially, and perhaps trying some coca tea, which is readily available at the lodge. The lodge staff are very experienced with guests arriving from lower elevations and are happy to offer personalized advice.

What is the general cost range for a stay at Hospedaje American's, and what's typically included?

While prices can fluctuate seasonally, expect a mid-range to upper-mid-range cost for a comfortable stay.

Some packages might include guided excursions to Circuito De Pichana, so it's worth checking when you book.
