Review Description

“SOQTAPATA” is a concession for conservation purposes, 4 hours by car from Cusco. A rich and biodiverse region in the Tropical Andes with more than 9,600 hectares of natural beauty. 


Our mission is to help preserve a part of our planet through initiatives that impact communities in or near the protected area preventing or minimizing their involvement in informal and environmentally harmful activities such as illegal mining and illegal logging. 


Our project provides all our visitors and collaborators the opportunity to bond with nature through an immersion into the wild.


SOQTAPATA is an opportunity to witness spectacular landscapes, soothing natural sounds and a variety of climates and scenario changes. Not one sunrise or sunset is the same. Every season is different and days can vary from intense rain to light rain, intense sunshine to cloudy days, breezy or still, noisy or calm, hot or cooler weather.


SOQTAPATA offers a wide range of biodiversity that allows for several activities such as Birdwatching (Andean Cock), the study of flora and fauna (orchids, bromeliads, heliconias, ferns) and animal tracking (Spectacled Bear, Monkeys, Pumas)
