In the Andes’ otherworldly Valley of the Giants—where red rock formations reach for the sky—Tinajani’s tented hamlet is a gateway to ancient myths and unspoiled beauty. Here, in a low-impact hamlet designed for just 12 guests at a time, the terrain has been warped by the elements but only lightly touched by human hands. Through warm hospitality, ancestral cooking, and breathtaking landscapes, both adventure and tradition define every visit while safari-style campamentos create a soft place to land.

THE CANYON

The Tinajani Canyon holds thousands of years of history in this tucked-away location in southern Peru. The otherworldly red rock walls tell stories of pre-Inca civilizations, dating back over three millennia. Water and wind have molded the landscape since, leaving behind a stone forest that has long been understood by its inhabitants through a rich tradition of folklore. To explore Tinajani is to embark on a raw adventure—to get acquainted with terrain that few travelers have walked upon.

THE HAMLET

The blink-and-miss hamlet of Tinajani allows the vastness of the valley to take center stage. A collection of adobe buildings and remnants of a former sheep farm now house our communal spaces, like a dining room and a quincho barbecue, and intimate areas like quiet reading corners and outdoor fire pits. Just 6 safari-style campamentos are offered, for only 12 guests total. Throughout the tented hamlet, heritage textiles and artisan crafts adorn the walls offering a sense of place, and a connection to Tinajani’s thousands of years of human history.

EXCURSIONS

Adventure is always within reach at Tinajani, where winding trails lead from the heart of the hamlet to the hidden edges of the valley. Days are spent hiking or cycling past ancient burial sites and along quiet streams, while nights invite stargazing and storytelling beneath vast Andean skies. Along the way, local guides share the deep-rooted knowledge and oral histories that have shaped this land for generations.

 

Beyond the canyon, adventures continue — from walking among the towering, once-in-a-lifetime blooms of the Puyas de Raimondi to visiting the towns of Ayaviri and Pucará, where time-honoured crafts and highland traditions offer a glimpse into daily life in the Andes.

NOURISHMENT

At Tinajani, every meal mirrors the hearty, time-honoured Altiplano lifestyle. Our menu celebrates the simplicity of rural cooking, with fresh ingredients crafted with care.

 

Enjoy steaming bowls of Chairo and Pastel de Quinoa, wood-fired Cancacho and Huatia, and morning delights like Andean cereal crepes. Afternoons feature slow-cooked stews and highland grains, while evenings invite a cosy fondue of local cheeses and meats, rounded off with a sweet touch of api or a homemade crumble.

Food tells a long story at Tinajani. The sacred ingredients that have sustained Andean communities for millenia are honored here, on a menu reflective of the changing seasons. Hearty rural dishes like wood-fired lamb and local trout en papillote are prepared by your host with a delicate touch, alongside ancient grains like quinoa and cañihua and farm-to-table tubers.

 

Reflect on each day’s adventures over warm herbal teas, and fresh-from-the-oven desserts, as the farmhouse fills with the same comforting scents of homes in the surrounding Andes.
