Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get to Casa Aymara from Juliaca airport, and what should we expect upon arrival?

We always recommend arranging a transfer directly with Casa Aymara. It's a scenic drive, about 45 minutes, and they'll be waiting for you. The lodge itself feels like a warm embrace, with staff ready to offer a refreshing drink and help you settle in immediately.

Since Casa Aymara is in Sillustani, what kind of wildlife can we realistically hope to see nearby?

While Sillustani is famed for its pre-Incan burial towers, the surrounding altiplano offers its own unique wildlife encounters. We love spotting vicuñas grazing peacefully on the hillsides, and keep an eye out for Andean condors soaring overhead. It's a different kind of safari, focused on high-altitude fauna and stunning landscapes.

What are the typical costs associated with a stay at Casa Aymara, and what's usually included?

Rates at Casa Aymara vary by season, but we find it offers excellent value for the experience. Generally, your stay includes comfortable accommodation, delicious meals featuring local ingredients, and access to the lodge's beautiful grounds. We suggest checking their website for the most up-to-date pricing and package details.

We're planning a trip in May. Is this a good time to visit Casa Aymara, and what's the weather typically like?

May is a fantastic time to visit Casa Aymara. The dry season is beginning, meaning sunny days and crisp, cool evenings perfect for enjoying the lodge's cozy atmosphere. We love the clear skies this time of year, which make the sunsets absolutely sensational over the altiplano.

How safe is the Sillustani area for guests exploring independently from Casa Aymara?

The Sillustani area is generally very safe, and we've always felt comfortable exploring. The lodge staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the surroundings and can advise on the best times and routes for independent walks. We recommend sticking to the main paths around the archaeological site for the most rewarding experience.
