Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see near Casa de campo Santa Rosa de Quives, given its proximity to Meseta de Marcahuasi?

While the main draw here is the otherworldly landscape of Marcahuasi, we've spotted Andean condors soaring overhead and a variety of smaller birds like hummingbirds flitting through the grounds. Keep an eye out for vicuñas grazing on the higher plateaus during your treks. It's not a big game destination, but the avian life and the unique high altitude fauna are captivating.

We're planning a family trip with young children. How child friendly is Casa de campo Santa Rosa de Quives, and what activities are suitable for them?

Absolutely. We found Casa de campo Santa Rosa de Quives to be wonderfully welcoming for families. The lodge itself offers safe, open spaces for kids to explore, and the spa, while perhaps more for the adults, has a calming atmosphere. Shorter guided walks around the immediate vicinity, focusing on the unique rock formations rather than strenuous hikes, are perfect for little legs.

What's the best way to experience the Meseta de Marcahuasi from the lodge, and what should we pack for a day trip?

We recommend hiring a local guide through the lodge for your Marcahuasi excursion. They know the best routes and the most impressive formations. Pack layers, as the weather can change rapidly, sturdy hiking boots, sun protection, and plenty of water. The views are simply breathtaking, so bring your camera.

Beyond the spa and Marcahuasi, what other unique experiences does Casa de campo Santa Rosa de Quives offer?

We love the opportunity to simply relax and soak in the incredible mountain air. The lodge often organizes stargazing sessions, and the night sky here, far from city lights, is absolutely phenomenal. Enjoying a Pisco Sour on the terrace as the sun dips below the peaks is another ritual we never miss.

Considering the altitude, what should we know about acclimatization and safety when staying at Casa de campo Santa Rosa de Quives?

The lodge is situated at a significant altitude, so we advise taking it easy on your first day. Drink plenty of water and avoid heavy meals. The staff are very knowledgeable about altitude sickness and are there to assist. We found the climate to be surprisingly mild year-round, but always be prepared for cooler evenings.
