Local Resources & Residency Services

  • Cultural Heritage

    The Sacred Valley of the Incas offers access to magnificent Inca ruins at Pisac, Chinchero, Maras, and Ollantaytambo. We are happy to facilitate transportation and/or guides to these archaeological wonders.

    We are happy to help create meaningful cultural experiences by connecting our participants with local scholars, artists, craftspeople, weavers, anthropologists, Andean priests, and translators. We support, foster, and believe in collaborations.

    The Museo Inkariy, located along the Cusco-Calca Highway at km 53, provides an immersive journey through Peru's ancient civilizations. In Ollantaytambo, ALQA (Museo de Arte Popular Andino) celebrates traditional Andean folk art, while Urubamba's Museo de Sonido Hebe Almonacid offers unique insights into Peru's musical heritage. IPAKURA Is an Andean Cultural Center celebrates and shares local traditions through various programs and exhibitions.  IPAKURA is based in movement, sound & music, located in the next village of Arin.

  • Dining

    For a taste of local cuisine with an international twist, we recommend Viva Peru and the charming Alto café in Arin. Both offer breakfast and lunch in a comfortable atmosphere and delicious fusion dishes that blend Peruvian and international flavors. Both offer wifi. Huaran also offers La 58 Restobar, a local sushi/japanese restaurant and two small hotels with restaurants. The nearby small cites of Calca and Urubamba (is larger) both have traditional food markets.
