A thin cold wind moves across the plateau as the first light slices through a canvas tent. You unzip, step onto packed earth and see terraced fields rolling toward a distant ridge, alpacas grazing and smoke curling from a family’s mud stove. This is not a hotel—it's a household, where glamping means a heated tent, handmade textiles and an intimate view of daily Andean life.
