Inkaterra Machu Picchu

Cozy one or two-story whitewashed cottages of Inkaterra Machu Picchu are constructed from local materials which line the stone pathways, giving this intimate 85-room hotel the look of a lovely Andean village. Colorful local crafts and authentic pre-Columbian artifacts in the public rooms bring the local culture and history to life. Miles of trails lace the grounds, winding past waterfalls and through the forest, and wandering through gardens rich with a dazzling array of native orchid species, birds, butterflies, and other natural wonders.

Visiting Machu Picchu is a unique experience that will allow guests to enjoy not only a spectacular World Heritage Site, but also a village, a natural park, and a variety of attractions. The Villas at Inkaterra, gracious private villas built in Inkaterra’s unique “Andes-Colonial” style, bring to the heart of Latin America the kind of pampering and luxury usually available only in the world’s most exotic and hidden-away retreats. The Villas are located in a secluded setting overlooking Inkaterra Machu Picchu’s orchid garden and the Vilcanota River valley.

The glass-walled restaurant and its adjacent terraces offer glorious views of the rapid-flowing Urubamba River and the surrounding wall of the green Andes Mountains. Café Inkaterra blends traditional Andean food with contemporary cuisine, creating an innovative fusion-style fare, impeccably served. Native architecture is reflected in the restaurant’s traditional Amazonian palm-thatched roof, while regional crafts in a rainbow of colors brighten the walls.

The UNU Spa, unu meaning water in the Quechua language, combines the classic nurturing of a traditional health spa with a healing, mystical Andean approach. All spa products are 100% natural and derived from botanical extracts.

Since developing the first eco-lodge in the southern Peruvian rainforest in 1975, Inkaterra continues to integrate sustainable business practices into all aspects of its operations. Through its conservation programs Inkaterra Machu Picchu protects 12,000 thousand hectares of Amazon forest, which contributes to global carbon fixing. Inkaterra also actively supports energy efficiency, obtains renewable energy from hydroelectric plants, promotes recycling and conservation education campaigns, including reforestation and environmental programs with local, neighboring communities.
