A rustic hotel in the heart of the
Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, this beautiful eco-lodge
takes inspiration from the small Andean-style towns
that can be found in the clouds forest (the mid-altitude
zone where the Andes mountain range starts its descent
to meet the Amazon jungle).
The Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel stands
in the hillside next to the train station, offering
some great views of the surrounding hills.
The tile-roofed, stone bungalows are
rustic yet elegant, styled with local handcrafted Andean
architecture, and connected among them through an Inca-style
web of stone pathways. The 83 guest houses feature exposed
local-wood beams, alpaca bedspreads -hand woven and
hand washed-, and deluxe kits of handmade amenities
and aromatherapy products.
Home to an impressively large collection of native orchids
(372 species), the 5 hectares of cloud forest that surround
the Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel are also habitat to a
considerable concentration of birds (162 species, including
16 of wild hummingbirds alone), butterflies (111 species),
and over 100 fern species. No surprise some of the most
delightful attractions offered include orchid tours,
bird-watching, and ecological hikes.
Among other hotel services, the Mikhuna
Wasi dining room (a large glass house with an outstanding
view of the Urubamba River), an Andean sauna (with indigenous
bamboo and fresh eucalyptus leaves), and the nearby
Inkaterra Café restaurant.
