Chivay Astronomical Observatory Hotels

"Best location in Colca Canyon to see the Andean condors. Staff, facilities were superb with a nice spa and hot tubs. The general area is rustic, and there is really only one good road into Colca Canyon from either Puno or Arequipa. It's a high-altitude area, so be prepared to be impacted if you plan to engage in any physical activities. "

"I felt sick because of high altitude. All the staff member were attentive and gave me extra attention for my needs. I really appreciate their help! "

"The worst “hotel” imaginable. Staff have no idea what they’re doing. No wifi (i mean who needs wifi). I was told to be ready at 6 am sharp for transport to the city. It never came. The hotel reception said that in Peru when we say 6 am we really mean 7 am. Unbelievable. I only woke up at 5 am and was there 15 minutes early. I had to hitch a ride with another couple’s driver (pure luck) to get to the city, My driver is still probably on his way. The worst part is in my haste I left behind my hat. Don’t speak a word of English for those that don’t speak Spanish. Avoid this like the plague."

"Very nice and accommodating staff"
