Getting here

Five steps from your front door.

Two flights, one road, and someone waiting at the end of it.

  1. Fly to Peru

    Almost every international route into Peru lands at Jorge Chávez in Lima.

    Check entry requirements for your own passport with your government or the Peruvian consulate that covers you. We do not give visa advice.

  2. Fly on to Tarapoto

    Tarapoto airport is TPP, Cadete FAP Guillermo del Castillo Paredes. It takes domestic flights only, most often from Lima.

    Because TPP is domestic, you will clear immigration in Lima and then take a second, separate flight. Allow time between the two.

  3. You are met in Tarapoto

    Someone from Qinty meets you, or you follow written arrival instructions sent before you travel.

    Who meets you, where exactly, and what to do if your flight is delayed.

  4. The road out of town

    Tarapoto gives way to green hills, then to forest, then to the track that reaches the land.

    Travel time, road surface, and what the last stretch is actually like.

  5. Arrive at Qinty Wasi

    You are shown where you sleep, you eat, and you are left alone to rest. Nothing is asked of you on the first evening.

    The window of time in which guests are expected on day one.
