Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to get to Casa de Eustaquio from Juliaca?

We find the easiest way to reach Casa de Eustaquio is by pre-arranging a taxi or transfer through the lodge itself. It's a short drive from Juliaca, and having someone waiting for you takes the stress out of navigating the local transport. The drive offers your first glimpses of the stunning altiplano landscape.

What kind of wildlife can we expect to see around Casa de Eustaquio?

While Casa de Eustaquio isn't a traditional safari lodge focused on big game, we love the abundant birdlife. Keep an eye out for Andean gulls, various waterfowl on nearby Lake Umayo, and if you're lucky, perhaps a caracara soaring overhead. It's a peaceful environment for observing local fauna.

Is Casa de Eustaquio suitable for families with young children?

Absolutely. We think Casa de Eustaquio offers a wonderfully calm and safe base for families. The grounds are spacious enough for kids to explore a little, and the proximity to Sillustani means you can visit the ruins without a long, arduous journey. The staff are very welcoming to younger guests.

What are the dining arrangements like at Casa de Eustaquio?

We were very impressed with the home-cooked meals served at Casa de Eustaquio. Expect hearty, traditional Peruvian dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients. It feels like you're being welcomed into a family home, and the flavors are authentic and satisfying after a day of exploring.

What is the best time of year to visit Casa de Eustaquio and Sillustani?

We recommend visiting during the dry season, generally from April to October. The skies are clearer, offering spectacular views of the altiplano and the sunsets over Lake Umayo are truly sensational.
