The average stay for a tourist in this region is 3 days, a day each in Kuelap, Gocta and Leymebamba, in that case a tourist might as well stay in Chachapoyas as it would be much easier from there to make efficient use of their short time. We recomend a minimum of 5 days so that our guests can appreciate their surroundings. Fundo Arawishka is about four hectares; on a small scale we grow coffee, pitahaya (dragon fruit), banana and about a hectare of lawn. Beside our house, we have a brick house containing three apartments, the two bedroomed upper one . with 65m2 and then two apartments (Arawishka B) of about 30m2 each on the ground floor with one bedroom each. All apartments have a kitchen and living cum dining room and are fully furnished and equipped. We will leave you with the ingredients for your first breakfast so that you get off to a good start. The climate is kind all year round, we don’t need heating or air-conditioning, and neither do we need mosquito netting, although there are a few moths that come to visit. You get a set of keys, so you can come and go as you like.
We love to interact with the guests, so that they make the best of their time here and will show you around the “Fundo”, so you can take full advantage of what we have here. We want you to be independent, but if you need any help with tourism, groceries, health problems etc. we will do our best, as we live next door and if we are not there, we have a caretaker who lives at the entrance. When available we share with you any coffee, bananas, pitahaya, passion fruit, nopal cactus and avocados from the “Fundo”. We have carefully planned the services; rarely have problems with water, gas and electricity (with a standby generator if necessary). The internet is beamed in from 20 kms away which works most of the time, and more or less reasonable mobile phone coverage. Otherwise if you’re not plugged into the internet, you can wander along the kilometre of paths around the Fundo, help sort the coffee, mow the lawn or just watch the bird life. There is a “Palapa” in front of the flats that can be used for barbeques or just hanging out or entertaining visitors. Attached to the apartments we have a washing machine and clothes line
Fundo Arawishka is nestled at 1,500meters up in the Northern Andes in a hamlet of about 60 souls, called Chaquil, at kilometre 300 on the main road from the coast to the jungle. The scenery around here is spectacular as is the tourism. We are only about 15 minutes from Pedro Ruiz by Moto taxi , probably the most comfortable way for “doing” tourism is renting a taxi by the half or whole day. There are tour agencies in Pedro, as long as they get enough passengers. Just a quick checklist, starting from the nearest; Sulphur pool in Chaquil; Marvelous Spatuletail hummingbird sanctuary at Huembo; Yumbilla waterfall (4 tiers 895m high) at Porvenir, also at Yumbilla we can fix you up with a day of canyoning, there are also other waterfalls nearby, the most remarkable being: Pabellón (400m high) and Chinata (580m high); The lake at Pomacochas; Sarcophagus El Tigre at San Jeronimo; Gocta waterfall (2 tier 771m high); Lamud with more sarcophagus and Quiocta cave; Chachapoyas and the Sonche canyon; The mountaintop ruins of the fortress of Kuelap with its new cable car; Bird sanctuary at Abra Patricia Owlet Lodge; Leymebamba and the museum of the mummies from The Condor Lake, etc
