Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo

Machu Picchu Pueblo is made up of 83 casitas in 12 acres of land, home to the world’s largest orchid collection. There are multiple room types, ranging from ‘Superior’ to the ‘Villa Inkaterra’. Each room is incredibly spacious, and we’d recommend staying in one of the gorgeous suites, equipped with outdoor rain showers, a private garden, a plunge pool and an open fireplace. The casitas are comfortable, fitted with cotton sheets, plump hypoallergenic pillows and decorated with local crafts and wooden beams. 

Facilities

Inkaterra have an outstanding reputation for excellent guides and an environmentally conscious approach to tourism in Peru. The lodge is well equipped for all your needs, with an exclusive restaurant, cafe and bar; the Unu Spa and Andean eucalyptus sauna with natural treatments; a heated outdoor swimming pool; and grounds that home over 200 endemic bird species including the golden headed quetzal and the Andean cock-of-the-rock, or tunki in Quechua. 

Dining

The restaurant was originally built as a large glass house, now boasting exceptional panoramic views of the Vilcanota River and the surrounding terraces. Dining here feels immersed in the natural surroundings, and all food is locally sourced fusion cuisine. Try the fresh caught trout or alpaca meat, both Andean specialties. Alternatively, dining in the more casual Cafe Inkaterra is warm and cozy, open all day, serving quinoa soup and Peruvian staples.
