Amaru TreeHouse

Set in Cusipata by the river, this is a newly built hotel offering tidy, well-kept rooms. The service was outstanding. It’s about an hour and a half by car from Vinicunca and Palccoyo, which makes it a convenient base if you’re driving. All in all, it’s a solid option in the area.
Because you’re staying in a town, expect all outward-facing rooms to pick up the sound of roosters crowing and dogs barking overnight.

We stayed at Amaru Treehouse for a few nights and truly enjoyed the experience. The hotel is beautifully located in a peaceful, green valley right next to the river, surrounded by impressive mountains and untouched nature. The area feels very authentic and largely undiscovered, with very few tourists, which makes it especially appealing.
This is an excellent base to explore the wider region. There are several interesting places nearby that are well worth visiting, so staying two or three nights is ideal to really appreciate the surroundings.
The hotel itself is small, new, and thoughtfully designed. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with hot water, good showers, and large windows that offer stunning views of the valley and mountains. While the standard is not five-star, everything works as it should and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.
The owners and the entire team are exceptional — genuinely kind, friendly, and extremely helpful. Nothing feels like a problem, and they are always ready to assist with arrangements, advice, or local tips. They know the area very well and can help organize activities, including horse riding, which they are particularly passionate about.
Breakfasts are simple but very tasty, and dinners can also be ordered. The food is not meant to be fine dining, but it is well prepared, comforting, and exactly what you want after a day of exploring. Coffee and tea are available throughout the day, which is a nice touch.

Amazing hotel, very new and clean with an amazing view from common areas. The beds and hot shower were great and comfortable, carefully made breakfast. Owner and staff are super friendly and willing to help. We are on a biketrip, and our bikes were no issue. Limited amount of vegetarian/vegan friendly restaurants in the village.
Overall great experience!

Stayed one night with my wife, would definitely to recommend staying longer. The area offers a lot of landscapes to explore! The hotel is very nice, brand new and a very thoughtful design. The Hot shower after hiking was very pleasant, the bed is also so comfy and really warm! Nice view from the hotel on the mountains. Holger was so helpful with the hiking, sightseeing and road-tripping options in the area. Thanks a lot!

Outstanding service, delicious food, and a magnificent view! The bed was extremely comfortable and I loved waking up to the scenery. I also booked a Rainbow Mountain tour and horseback riding through them. Both were perfectly organized and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Apparently the hotel opened just few months ago, so everything is still brand new. The room is very clean and cozy. The hotel is build around a tree and everything else matches the same decor idea (lots of wood, fresh flowers in the room). There's great attention to detail (tea available at every floor, clementines to snack in the lobby, the manager even texted us the menu beforehand knowing we'll be arriving late). The bed is probably the softest we had in Peru. There is no heating, as in most villages, but there are lots of blankets. The hotel is a convenient stop between 7 lakes in Ausengate and Puno or even Rainbow Mountain. The manager is fully fluent in English and the hotel accepts credit cards.
