On the slopes of the Andes, where the clouds envelop the trees, immerse yourself in ancient mysteries and quiet seclusion at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel.

Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, with its white-washed cottages clinging to the misty mountainside, recalls a traditional Andean village. The 85 casitas and villas are outfitted with fireplaces and cosy alpaca blankets, and the butler-attended villas feature private gardens and open-air showers.

The eco-luxe hotel is a day’s hike or 30-minute bus trip to the awesome Machu Picchu ruins, but that’s not its only draw. Get pampered pre-Columbian-style with coca-leaf treatments and a eucalyptus sauna at UNU spa. Taste regional cuisine and coffee grown on-site, or wander the forest and garden trails. Want to spot birds, butterflies, or the property’s record-breaking 372 species of wild orchids? These and other guided excursions are included in your visit.

A trailblazer in sustainable tourism, Inkaterra has preserved thousands of hectares of Amazonian rainforest. Rest assured knowing your stay is 100 percent carbon neutral, and the hotel can even help offset your flight emissions.
