A quincha home and a tambo home are both traditional types of Andean homes, yet they have some key differences. A quincha home is typically constructed with a framework of wooden beams and filled in with adobe bricks, while a tambo home is built entirely out of stone and mud mortar. Quincha homes are known for their durability and thermal insulation, while tambo homes are often more temporary structures used for shelter during travel or agricultural work. Additionally, quincha homes typically have a thatched roof, whereas tambo homes often have flat roofs made of compressed earth.
