Wishing to be back already!
Incredible location with front view of Gocta waterfall. Small and quiet lodge, perfect for families with children, either if used as a base to explore the region or to spend some afternoons lazing off. Breakfast and dinners amazing: Mafe was an incredible host, always keen on keeping our children satisfied. The natural pool was also very fun, and the sauna with the view perfect for after long treks.
A fan could help keep the room more fresh during sunlight hours. Otherwise a mosquito mesh could help prevent bugs from coming in whilst keeping the glass door open.

Exceptional
If you’re looking to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and spend time surrounded by nature, Mamaq Tambo Lodge is a truly special place. We chose it because of the beautiful photos online, and they were every bit as stunning in person. From the lodge, you can see Gocta Waterfall in the distance, while the property is filled with coffee plants, guava trees, dragon fruit, and other tropical vegetation. A small but productive vegetable garden provides fresh ingredients for the kitchen, reinforcing the lodge’s close connection to its surroundings. Among all the places we have stayed during our travels, this is one of the rare places where we found a genuine sense of peace. In a world that rarely slows down, the quietness here feels like a luxury in itself. It's also worth mentioning that, although the lodge feels wonderfully secluded, the town of Cocachimba is just a short walk away and serves as the gateway to the trail leading to Gocta Waterfall.
What makes Mamaq Tambo memorable, however, goes beyond its setting. Our host, Rayner, embodies the spirit of the lodge, part farmer, part craftsman, part artist, and part engineer. He manages the lodge and grows part of what is served at the table. Nearly everything is made from scratch, including bread made with natural starter. Don’t miss the house-roasted coffee, homemade butter and guava jam. Every aspect of the experience reflects care, authenticity, and a deep respect for the land. Nothing feels designed for show. Mamaq Tambo Lodge is more than a beautiful place to stay, it offers a glimpse of a simpler, more intentional way of living, one that stays with you long after you leave.

Great place with perfect view on Gocta cascades
We loved everything in the lodge: the tastefully decorated and recently built Cabanas, with huge bathroom, super comfy beds and cute terrace with view on the Gocta cascade, set in a stunning well-kept garden. We could not use the natural water pool as we were in winter season, but it looked very inviting. The staff all from the local village is very friendly and they served one of the best breakfast in Perú.
It is not in the center of the town unlike the other hotels, and a bit of a hike if you don’t have or want to use your car to visit the town, especially in the evening where you need a flashlight to see anything. Even the tuktuks don’t/cannot get only half way to the lodge due to the slope and “road”. That said, it was really not a big issue for the only night when we decided to have diner in the village instead of staying at the lodge, and did not regret it as everyone is super helpful and friendly.

Great and very relaxing stay in a beautiful and quiet location.
Beautiful, large rooms with a very designer-look bathroom. Rooms have large windows with a view of the valley.
The bed was super-comfy, but the best part is the hosts. We felt taken care of all time and we appreciated that hosts speak good English. Chef prepared a 3-course dinner every evening and each time it was a different menu.
Wifi was quite good and could reach our room. We recommend booking a sauna which is higher in the mountain with an amazing view to the whole valley.
The hotel is a bit on the hill, so you have to walk down and back up if you want to visit the city. For us, it was not a problem.

Logement très calme, reposant situé au milieu de la nature avec vue sur le Gocta. On n entend que les oiseaux. Nous avons dîner sur place, c était délicieux- très bon accueil de Raynar qui est également très bon cuisinier
Le logement est accessible a pied depuis le village mais le chemin est un peu escarpé (pour ceux qui ont du mal à marcher) - le taxi a eu du mal à monter- heureusement que nous avions eu les explications au préalable (surtout de nuit !)
