“Everyone comes for the day. You can stay the night.”The video is from the website itself: the lake beside the house

The website, as it is

A house beside three lakes

kinsacocha.com recorded as whoever opens it sees it: dark, slow, with the puna behind.

What you will not find here

No internet the way a city has itAn evening with nowhere to put it
No programme, no scheduleA morning you decide for yourself
No reception deskA person you write to
No neighbours through the wallA silence that keeps you awake the first night
No shop around the cornerWhat you brought with you, and trout from the lake
No city noiseWind, water and alpacas on the slope
No maps, no coordinatesA guide who picks the trail in the morning

A day here · there is no programme, there is a choice

05:30SunriseFog lies in the valleys, the summits catch light first.
08:00BreakfastYour own, in the kitchen.
09:00The trailShort, half a day, a full day or nowhere at all: which one is decided by the guide in the morning.
13:00The stopFood by the water, photographs or just sitting.
18:00Coming backThe stove, hot water, dry socks: by dinner the house is warm.
19:00DinnerYour own, at the neighbours’, or trout from the lake — straight from the pens, not from a freezer.
20:30FireTea, chicha served hot, or silence.
21:30NightHow many stars you get is decided by the moon, not the weather.

Five fires

One feeds you, one warms you, one burns under the open sky. The fourth is painted.

1
Clay, in the kitchen

Burns wood, cooking in clay pots. Slow — that is the point.

The one indoors

Lit towards evening, and by dinner the house is warm.

3
The hearth in the tipi

Fire a few steps from where you sleep.

The hearth in the yard

A ring of stones under the open sky. Tea is carried out to it.

5
The painted one

Canvas, cauldron, fire. It does not warm, and it does not have to — like the one in old Carlo’s room.

Further in

An atlas of the puna

“Everything here wears wool. Even the cactus.” 32 plants and 17 animals — and not one photo is someone else’s.

The house rule

We do not publish routes, coordinates or the names of trails.“These trails hold up on exactly one thing: that nobody writes about them.” The website says it straight.
