Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo ● Machu Picchu ● Peru
Situated within it’s own 12 acre private cloud forest reserve along the banks of the Vilcanota river, just a 5 minute walk from the train station at the foot of Machu Picchu mountain is the enchanting retreat of Machu Picchu Pueblo. The several kilometres of private nature trails lead through wild forest to rushing streams and secluded orchid gardens. Several species of hummingbird share the gardens with multicoloured butterflies and other myriad bird life.
“There is simply nothing else like it in Aguas Calientes, a wonderful property with a special atmosphere.”
Rooms are found in individually designed white washed cottages built using stone, adobe and eucalyptus beams. Interiors are warm and welcoming with open fires, local hand made crafts, luxury bathrobes and signature environmentally friendly toiletries. The magical Unu spa also features an authentic outdoor Andean sauna made of straw with hot stones and candles. Complimentary excursions include several guided nature walks, early morning bird watching and a chance to make your own tea at the hotel’s own tea plantation. Another highlight for wildlife lovers and exclusively for guests of the hotel is the hotel’s own Spectacled Bear project which aims to help the endangered bears be reintroduced into the wild.
