Tapay

Travel Guide

Tapay is a small village in the Colca Canyon, 2900 metres above sea level. Most organised treks don't include a visit here, so if you really want to get off the beaten track, come to Tapay. Its elevation affords some stunning views across the surrounding countryside, and if you arrive mid-afternoon (as we did) it is unlikely you will see any other locals here, let alone other tourists. Rustic, authentic, isolated, and beautifully peaceful, Tapay can easily be visited in a 2-day self-guided trek from Cabanaconde.

8.6/10 Excellent! (16 reviews)
Overall a good stay. The hosts were friendly and the food was decent. Unfortunately, there seemed to be an issue with the hot water tank, so we didn’t have hot water during our stay. Aside from that, it was a good value for the price.

Nice resort in a picturesque surrounding. Friendly stuff, clean and attractive rooms. Bar service is spotty, one needs to call for attention to be served and even then nobody comes. They are not approaching guests promptly and seem to be disinterested in serving and greeting customers. Other service ...

A good location with respect to the sites to see. It would be helpful if a physical welcome guide was provided with things like wifi password (we called them and they provided it), garbage location, etc. We didn’t have enough towels for the number of ppl we were and they brought some. Overall ...
