Description
Restaurant and mirador. We camped on the parking lot of the restaurant, 20 sol, safe and secluded. Separate 24h clean bano's. Private mirador and restaurant with stunning view straight down into the canyon. Enough space also for big rig but the track is a bit narrow and windy.

Latest Check-Ins
It is such a beautiful place. Don’t miss it. Clean toilet and shower, nice view to the canyon and condors passing by. Good food in the restaurant. We loved this place with all the beautiful flowers.
Report Check-InWe just came across the owners when checking if the restaurant was open at 5:30pm. They cooked just for us, there was nobody else, which was super nice. They wanted to charge us the mentioned price of 35S per person but we bargained down to 30S in total for our van. The food was ok, the view over the canyon amazing! The place is very cozy.
Report Check-InPlace was open. We took a coffee and have a wonderfull view. restaurant looks good, friendly people. finally we can stay overnight in our van. but we decided to go at mirador el cruz
Report Check-InIt was open but I guess it's safer to reserve ahead as we were nearly the only overnight guests. I added a picture of the street sign with the contact Infos.
Report Check-InUnfortunately it‘s closed at the moment, two gardener were there and couldn‘t give us any informations. Please check it before!
Report Check-InFirmly 35 soles per person to camp in the car. Access to bathrooms, hot shower, wifi, views. Quite nice, friendly, but pretty pricy. The road in is quite steep gravel with tight turns, don’t need 4x4 but wouldn’t come here with a big rig or a sensitive van.
Report Check-InAs mentioned before super nice place, quiet, good food and private view points for watching the Condors. Space for 3 rigs. 2 at the lower parking, one on the upper (depending if this is occupied by other cars). The 50m from the top to the bottom parking shouldn’t worry you - even if you have to back down again. What is a bit challenging is the way back to the road. There is a narrow and steep segment with two narrow turns. Could be challenging for big rigs with only 2WD.
Report Check-InGreat views from the parking and restaurant. The charge was 30 for the night, one van, two people. The lady who runs the place was real nice. We only had beers and coffee in the morning but it was all good. The road up to the parking is dirt, a little bumpy but 4wd is not needed.
Report Check-InAs already mentioned a spectacular location (views and gardens are magnificent) and so peaceful. Very friendly staff. Showers lovely and hot.
Report Check-InGreat place, fantastic view, very nice people. Hot showers (!!), wifi, water available. 35 soles per person in our camper. 3 nice dogs will great you ecstatically, there are also 1 cat, flocks of ducks, chicken and turkey, guinea-pigs, alpacas and sheep. Had a safe and quiet night, saw condors in the morning as soon as the sun was out. The way up to the restaurant and reception is a bit of a challenge for larger vehicles, but doable. Not much room on the top parking area.
Report Check-InNice views, but expensive. Electricity was down so no shower, wifi etc. Good place to relax
Report Check-InWow this place is worth it to camp right near the edge of the canyon. Price is a bit steep but worth. There is a bigger parking lot about 50 meters before you get to the top near the hotel. If you’re larger than 6M long, I would park down there first to see if there’s space at the top. It’s almost impossible to turn around when you get to the top. You’ll likely have to back down. Hot water showers were nice.
Report Check-InWe stayed here for 2 nights. S30 per person and in a camper. This is an exceptional location on the rim of the canyon, the view is magnificent. The food is very good. Not cheap, but definately worthwhile. Do not miss this experience.
Report Check-InWe drove up the narrow but manageable with high clearance 2wd road and ended up to a closed restaurant. A señor there told us it's closed for the season and it will open on April 1st. We were offered to camp and use toilets, he also offered to unlock to building if we needed plugging in. He asked for 25 soles per person, which seemed too much for it being closed. The place is beautiful though and the view from the restaurant should be great.
Report Check-In20 sol per person, but they do have a shower, clean and hot! Outside toilet without seat but inside with. Pricey, but a nice place.
Report Check-InBeautiful spot. VERY DELICIOUS FOOD with greens from their garden. As one of us was sick, we took a room for USD 60 with a great view. In the Night it was cold - they gava us a hot-water bottle, which was perfect.
Report Check-InFantastic place with thousand of flowers, breath taking view on the canyon. We had restaurant close to the fire place, very friendly people, great Mirador to stare the condors. The access road is not so easy, pay attention. Good wifi and claro connexion.
Report Check-Inthey asked 30 soles per person to sleep in our van. even if it looks nice, we left and slept at the free old parking spot some kilometers further.
Report Check-InPerfect! The most incredible camping that I’ve seen. Wifi password [NOT ALLOWED ON iOVERLANDER!]
Report Check-InWe really liked this place, they have a farm on site where they grown their own organic products. We felt very welcomed as overlanders, amazing view to the canyon, no need to pay for the mirador a few kilometers away, this is much better and secluded. They have a nice restaurant and rooms available. Dog friendly, no WiFi or electricity to plug in, suitable for all type of rigs.
Report Check-InBeautiful place for the view of the whole landscape, located near the viewpoint of Colca, it is preferable to spend a night in the place because the condors pass in the morning, noon and afternoon. It is wonderful and the cordial treatment of the employees.
We paid for a 150 PEN double room and then realized that Booking is cheaper (116 - 120 PEN) and the second night we negotiated for 100 PEN. We were able to wash clothes because we traveled with the motorcycle and it was very nice and cozy because in the night we had the fireplace and a hot thermos with water to drink tea.
