Location and Routes

The Yauyos Lodge is located within the North Yauyos Cochas Landscape Reserve, in the province of Lima, department of Lima, along the right bank of the Cañete river, 100 miles away from the city of Cañete, at an altitude of 2,900 above sea level and only 77 miles away from the city of Huancayo 

There are two paths to get to the cabins. The first and most recommended route starts in Lima, heading south via the Pan-American Highway up to the city of Cañete, 85 miles south of the city. From this spot the detour road headed towards Lunahuana will take the visitor to the lodge after a three-hours drive. There are signs along the road marking the distance left to the facilities.

The second route takes the Central Highway going through the city of Huancayo. From there you’ll take the detour to Chupaca, 6 miles down the road, and continue by the detour road that takes you to the town of Kero, 12 miles away from Chupaca. Then the road stays straight for about 60 miles until you spot the lodge’s signs by the road. This route can be rather deserted and long but it is known as a good option for those who want to enjoy the road trip and visit Huancayo along the way. Private transportation (vans or small buses) can be hired for both routes and there are public transportation options as well, of quite an enjoyable quality.

HOW TO BEST GET THERE

The preferred way to get there is riding off-road vehicles. Conventional vehicles can make it as well, by either route, although the damage probability is considerable. It is possible to rent a Land Rover, specially equipped for this type of trip, often including a driver. Feel free to contact us for further information.

Public transportation is also available. The San Juan de Yauyos company offers 5 rides a week. The drive is however quite long, as the bus stops in every town along the route.

You can reach them in Lima by calling 684-2890 or 9901 95867.
