La Granja del Colca

Just WOW!

Beautiful rustic property on the edge of the canyon. The views are unbelievable, the condors are amazing, we saw some each of the 3 days we were there. Edgar and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful. Comments regarding no heat and the rooms be cold at night are quite accurate. We stayed Sept 18-20 and it was cold at night. However there are plenty of blankets and if you sleep in thermals and socks you’ll be fine. Nice shower and hot water. You can arrange taxi service to Cananaconde if you’re trekking from there. Edgar took us to town (50 /s) and picked us up the following day when we came back up from Sangalle Oasis. Be aware the hotel is ~1.5km from the road, up a driveway I would not want to walk up carrying my backpacks. We’ve been to some awesome places in our travels -this hotel in # 1 or 2 for the views!

Location wonderful! You will see condors! Can trek if you wish or just chill overlooking the canyon. They have llama and alpaca’s. Take pictures in their natural environment Isolated and you have to eat in the hotel. Food range limited. Cooked well in general

Best views ever. It’s rustic but what a fantastic experience to be on the top of the Andes and to see condors fly pass as you’re having your coffee. It was priceless!!

Quirky gem in a spectacular spot

This quirky hotel is in a spectacular location in Colca Canyon. The staff are very welcoming and warm which is great as it gets very cold in winter. Just take ear plugs for potential dog barking but definitely worth a stay at La Granja.

An amazing, unique place to stay. It’s so remote and the views are incredible! The condors really do fly straight past the property - you wouldn’t even need to leave! Access can be tricky but very manageable - we booked a public bus from Arequipa to cabanaaconde and you have to tell the driver where you want to get off. The staff at La Granja came to pick us up from here. We booked through La Granja for a smaller minibus back to Arequipa which involved a few stops at viewpoints on the way home. A point to note - there isn’t really anywhere else to buy food or drink other than the restaurant (which is great) so factor this in to budgetting! It’s a 45min walk to La Cruz del condor and the walks in all directions from La granja are fantastic! Would definitely recommend and worth spending a couple of nights here to fully unwind and get to experience everything it has to offer.
