El Zorro de Arriba is a family-run coliving and coworking space in Urubamba, Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas. It combines comfortable accommodations, a café-bar, and dedicated remote work infrastructure with a strong community focus. The space hosts regular cultural events, after-work gatherings, and live music nights, making it a hub for digital nomads and travellers in the Cusco region.

El Zorro de Arriba — Coliving in Peru's Sacred Valley

Nestled in Urubamba at the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, El Zorro de Arriba bills itself as the first coliving and coworking space in this Peruvian town. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, and centuries-old archaeological sites, it offers digital nomads something most co-living spaces cannot: the chance to work from one of the most storied landscapes on earth.

Work Setup and Practical Nomad Needs

The coworking area delivers reliable high-speed internet (up to 300 Mbps), individual desks, shared workspaces, power outlets, and personal lockers — everything needed for a productive remote day. The space is pet-friendly and includes showers, parking, and a meditation room for decompressing between deep work sessions. Daily passes and longer subscription plans are available, giving flexibility whether you're passing through for a week or settling in for a month.

More Than a Desk: Life at El Zorro de Arriba

What sets this place apart from a regular coworking café is its rhythm. Mornings are quiet and focused, with the on-site café serving healthy food, snacks, and reportedly excellent cinnamon scrolls. Come Friday, the garden terrace transforms into a venue for After Office and Cultural Nights — live music, workshops, and community gatherings that draw locals, travellers, and long-stay nomads alike.

The café menu caters to vegans and celiacs, so dietary constraints won't force you off-campus. The outdoor terrace and garden provide alternative spots to work or unwind, with Andean peaks providing the backdrop.

The Sacred Valley as a Base

  • Urubamba sits roughly 60 km from Cusco, accessible by shared van (colectivo) or taxi.
  • The Sacred Valley offers a lower altitude than Cusco city (~2,870 m vs ~3,400 m), which eases acclimatisation.
  • Nearby sites include Moray, Maras salt pans, Ollantaytambo, and easy connections to Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu.
  • Airport pickup is available, smoothing the arrival logistics from Cusco's Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport.

Community and Reviews

Rated 5 stars by checked-in nomads on community platforms, El Zorro de Arriba earns consistent praise for its welcoming atmosphere, the quality of the food, and the ease of making connections with fellow travellers. Reviewers describe it as "homely" — not the polished anonymity of a corporate coworking brand, but a living space that feels lived-in and genuine.

For nomads seeking an escape from the usual coastal or Southeast-Asian circuit, the Sacred Valley is a compelling alternative. El Zorro de Arriba makes that alternative practical and sociable.

If your remote work wishlist includes Inca ruins, mountain hikes at altitude, and a community that actually gathers around a table — this is your place.
