Frequently Asked Questions

We're planning a trip to Peru and are intrigued by Chaska Ocupi Forest Glamping. What's the absolute best time of year to experience it, and what should we pack for the mountain air?

We love visiting Chaska Ocupi during the dry season, from May to October. The skies are clear, making the views of the Andes truly spectacular. Pack layers – think warm sweaters, a good waterproof jacket, and comfortable walking shoes, as the altitude near Sacsayhuamán can be bracing, especially in the evenings.

The photos of Chaska Ocupi look incredible. Can you tell us more about the 'glamping' aspect? What level of luxury can we expect compared to a traditional hotel?

Forget roughing it; Chaska Ocupi redefines glamping. The tents are spacious, beautifully appointed with plush bedding and private bathrooms, and feel incredibly secure. The lodge itself offers a refined ambiance, blending seamlessly with the forest, making it feel luxurious and timeless, a far cry from basic camping.

We're interested in the spa services at Chaska Ocupi. Are they worth the splurge, and what kind of treatments are unique to this Andean setting?

Absolutely, the spa at Chaska Ocupi is a highlight we highly recommend. They offer treatments incorporating local ingredients like coca and Andean herbs, which are incredibly soothing after a day exploring. We found the massages particularly revitalizing, perfect for easing any altitude-related tension.

Beyond exploring Sacsayhuamán, what other activities does Chaska Ocupi offer that truly capture the spirit of the region?

While Sacsayhuamán is a must see, Chaska Ocupi excels at immersive experiences. We recommend their guided nature walks through the surrounding cloud forest – the birdlife is astonishing. Evenings are magical, with opportunities for stargazing and enjoying the quiet solitude, punctuated by the sounds of the forest.

We're a bit concerned about safety and wildlife encounters near Chaska Ocupi. What should we be aware of, and is it safe to explore independently?

Chaska Ocupi is situated in a very secure area, and we felt completely at ease throughout our stay. While you might spot smaller creatures like hummingbirds and various insects, large wildlife is not a common concern here. For exploring further afield, especially around Sacsayhuamán, we always advise sticking to marked trails and perhaps joining a guided tour for the best insights and safety.
