Meeting Rooms & Backup Workspaces

For video calls, client presentations, or focused work requiring a quiet, professional environment, coworking spaces are the most reliable option. IMPAQTO has a soundproofed calling booth and meeting rooms. Selina has event-capable spaces for groups of 8–20.

What You Need to Know

For backup work locations when your apartment internet fails: any quality café (Goza, Ñucallacta, Muccha) provides a functional 2–4 hour workspace. Hotel lobbies (Santa Lucía, Mansón Alcázar, Selina) are underused workspaces with reliable WiFi.

Reserve meeting rooms in advance via WhatsApp with the coworking space manager. For high-stakes calls, always have a backup plan and test connection and audio before the call.

Typical Costs

Meeting room (coworking, per hour)$10–$25
