Community Tourism in Cuyuni: Experience the Andean cosmovision in front of the majestic Ausangate

At the foot of the imposing Apu Ausangate, in the middle of the Interoceanic Highway that connects Cusco with Puerto Maldonado, is Cuyuni, an Andean community that opens its doors to share with you its traditions, its gastronomy and its vision of the world.

Here you will not only contemplate unique landscapes, but also live authentic experiences: from ancestral rituals in honour of the Pachamama, to demonstrations of the agricultural practices that have sustained Andean families for centuries. All accompanied by the warmth of the local people and the flavour of Huatia Andina, cooked underground as tradition dictates.

Cuyuni is more than a destination: it is an experience of connection with nature, living culture and Andean spirituality, ideal for those looking for a day trip full of learning, rest and unforgettable moments in front of the sacred mountain.
