The experience of visiting one of the most important tourist destinations in the world must be accompanied by comfortable accommodations. After visiting the capital, Lima, enjoying its beaches, its casino hotels, and poker games in Peru, traveling to the cities of Cusco and Machu Picchu is a journey not to be missed. However, the distances can sometimes be long and exhausting, making a suitable lodge, like the ones listed below, essential.
> Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel
This is a large five-hectare lodge located on the outskirts of Machu Picchu Town, formerly known as Aguas Calientes. It is the closest reference point to start the journey to the citadel. At the lodge, you can enjoy the Unu Spa, a comprehensive relaxation service ideal for resting after walking, climbing, and descending the sacred valleys.
It also offers excursions to the mountain, with departures every 15 minutes.
> La Cabaña
Also in Machu Picchu Town, formerly Aguas Calientes, this option is slightly more economical for those looking for comfortable accommodation on a lower budget.
Rated three stars, La Cabaña has a prime location, just 300 meters from the main square, heading towards the hot springs. It offers a variety of rooms at different prices, but all with an aesthetic inspired by Inca culture.
> Belmond Sanctuary Lodge
Belmond has a unique feature that no other lodging in Peru can match: it is located at the foot of the Inca citadel. Its facilities, with 31 rooms and suites, enjoy a privileged location just meters from the entrance to Machu Picchu. For those who wish to be as close to the site as possible, there is no better option.
In addition to multiple gardens and relaxation areas, Belmond offers various traditional ceremony and ritual services.
A couple can spend their honeymoon or renew their vows in the presence of a shaman, who will perform sacred practices.
> Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba
Although it is a bit further away, the experience at the Inkaterra Hacienda, nestled in the Sacred Valley, is unforgettable.
Located halfway between Cusco and Machu Picchu, this collection of lodges features architecture that aligns with the local culture.
It has the unique feature of its own organic plantation, so many of the foods consumed at the lodge are free of agrochemicals and are grown using traditional techniques. For example, corn, quinoa, potatoes, and a range of medicinal herbs. The landscape of the Urubamba province is ideal for activities such as horseback riding, hiking, or rafting, all available at Inkaterra.
> Tambo del Inka Luxury Collection Resort & Spa
This option is one of the most comprehensive available.
Also in the Urubamba region, between Cusco and Machu Picchu, Tambo offers typical Sacred Valley activities, such as horseback riding or kayaking trips.
With a vast area, the hotel has access to the Piuray lagoon, where guests can refresh themselves and engage in sports.
Additionally, it has a private train station that takes guests to the Inca ruins and offers cuisine recognized throughout the country.
