Accommodations in Peru

Casa Andina Standard Machu Picchu

Hotel Casa Andina Standard Machu Picchu is located in the cosy, little town of Aguas Calientes, not far from the historic sacred precinct Machu Picchu, which is just a 30-minute drive away.

The hotel consists of 53 small yet modern rooms – all with an en suite bathroom, a TV and a safe. Free Wi-Fi is available at the hotel.

As the town is so small, most hotels are close to the station and the Urubamba River, which cuts through the town. The hotel has soundproofed windows, but there may still be some noise from both the river and the train station.

The day starts with a nice breakfast buffet in the hotel’s restaurant, so you can replenish your energy stores, ready for the day’s adventure ahead of you.

Marco Wasi Hotel

On the last night of the Salkantay trek, you spend the night at the Marco Wasi Hotel, located at the centre of Aguas Calientes and next to the main street, which features countless restaurants and cafés, as well as the thermal baths.

The rooms are plainly furnished, but all feature heating, cable TV, Wi-Fi and en-suite bathrooms, where you can take a well-earned hot bath after 2 days of trekking in the Andes Mountains.

Aguas Calientes is at the foot of Machu Picchu, and it takes about 30 minutes to drive there by bus the next morning. Although the departure for Machu Picchu is early, you can get a good breakfast here, served as a buffet and consisting of a selection of bread, fruit, yoghurt and muesli.

Corto Maltes Amazonia

Corto Maltes Amazonia lodge is your base for the Amazon adventure you’ll be enjoying over the next few days. Located roughly 7 kilometres up the Madre de Dios River from Puerto Maldonado, the lodge is surrounded by tropical rainforest.

It has 27 comfortable bungalows, built from wood. The bungalows are simply appointed, but all have a bed with a mosquito net, an en suite bathroom with hot water, a safe and a private terrace with hammocks, where you can lie and listen to the trickling of the river and the exotic sounds of the jungle.

In the communal area, you’ll find a bar, a small shop and the lodge’s restaurant, where the meals included are served. The food is a mix of international and national dishes, made from locally produced ingredients.
Tea and coffee are always available – even when the restaurant is closed.

If you need a refreshing dip after the day’s exciting excursions, there is a small swimming pool in the lush garden. There is also a pool bar, where you can purchase cold drinks and delicious cocktails.
And why not treat yourself to a massage at the lodge’s day spa?

The lodge is powered by its own generator, which runs from around 07.00-14.00 and 17.00-22.30. All bungalows have LED lamps if you need a light when the generator is turned off.

Wi-Fi is available in the lodge’s communal area when the power is on, but it’s extremely unstable. But hopefully you haven’t come all the way out here to the jungle to be online either – quite the opposite.

Look forward to unforgettable jungle experiences in the world’s largest rainforest – the Amazon!

The bus is modern and well equipped with seat belts, a toilet, air conditioning, reading lights and TV screens. The seats are comfortable with good legroom and the option to recline, allowing you to sleep on the way.

A bottle of water and some snacks are served on the bus, but we recommend that you bring some extra drinks, fruit and snacks yourself in case you get hungry.

There are no stops along the way when you can get out and stretch your legs. There is just one stop and that is purely for getting on and off.

We recommend bringing earplugs, an eye mask and a warm sweater as the air conditioning can make it feel chilly.

Look forward to spending the night in the historic town of Ollantaytambo, surrounded by the Andes Mountains, at the charming and authentic El Albergue hotel. The hotel dates from 1925 and enjoys a unique location at the town’s train station right on the Urubamba River.

There is a large piece of land belonging to the hotel, and they have their own café, restaurant, distillery and a large garden with exotic flowers and fruit trees, which attract hummingbirds, among others. On the adjacent plot, they run an organic farm that still uses traditional techniques that have existed for centuries. As a guest staying at the hotel, you are welcome to visit the farm and gain an exciting insight into its production.

The hotel has just 25 rooms, cosily furnished with dark wooden furniture. They all have an en suite toilet/shower, Wi-Fi, safe and a radiator, as it can get a little chilly at night.

Camp on the Salkantay trek

You do not need to worry about moving tents and mattresses between camp sites – your guide and porters will take care of that with the aid of the pack horses they will bring on the journey. They will also handle all transport of food for the meals, the dining tent and its tables and chairs, as well as your personal baggage, which can weigh up to 6 kg.

Look forward to experiencing the impressive and untouched nature of the Andes Mountains and a magical starry sky at night.
