Andean, a family-owned Peruvian hospitality brand, is expanding its portfolio with the addition of Tinajani, a remote tented retreat set in a 300-year-old canyon in southern Peru.
This move marks a continued investment in experiential travel and heritage-driven tourism, reinforcing growing trends in the outdoor hospitality sector where authenticity and environmental integration play a central role in attracting high-value travelers.
Set to open this spring, Tinajani is located between Cusco, Lake Titicaca, and the Colca Valley. The property will offer six tented camps, each consisting of a sleeping tent, a living tent, and a private deck with a hot tub, designed for guests to experience the Andean night sky in seclusion.
The development represents Andean’s most remote offering to date and aligns with the brand’s emphasis on low-impact, high-engagement tourism in lesser-known regions of Peru.
For industry professionals, Andean’s growth highlights a strategic approach to sustainable expansion, blending luxury with cultural preservation and site-specific storytelling.
The company’s model offers a case study in how family-owned brands can scale while maintaining authenticity and connection to place. Its approach to designing stays that immerse guests in regional identity, without compromising on comfort, speaks to evolving traveler expectations, especially in the high-end glamping and eco-retreat market segments.
According to a report by Globe Trender, Tinajani will join five other properties under the Andean banner. These include Cirqa, a restored 16th-century monastery in Arequipa, and Puqio, a tented camp in the Colca Valley that recreates early explorer-style accommodations in a setting rich with pre-Inca heritage.
The company also operates Titilaka on the shores of Lake Titicaca and two boutique urban accommodations in Lima—Atemporal and Fausto.
“We are dedicated to celebrating the heritage and soul of Andean culture, crafting journeys that inspire, preserve and restore while honouring the region’s legendary past,” said the company in a statement.
With the Tinajani expansion and future plans for a new property by late 2026, Andean continues to invest in remote, high-value experiences that aim to benefit local communities and elevate the profile of Peru’s lesser-traveled landscapes.
According to the company, its properties aim to “connect guests with local Quechua and Aymara cultures,” illustrating a commitment to cultural immersion that sets a precedent for experiential hospitality providers worldwide.
This strategy can serve as inspiration for glamping operators and outdoor resort developers seeking to incorporate cultural integrity and ecological sensitivity into their business models.
