Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo was the first hotel to monitor the impact of the ecological footprint of its business. In fact, as early as 10 years ago it offered its guests the opportunity to offset the CO2 emissions produced by their air travel. Inkaterra is still heavily involved in projects to preserve the natural features of the Amazon rainforest.
The Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel is probably the best hotel in the area and is located 5 minutes walk from the new station at Aguas Calientes. Ideally situated in 12 acres of cloud forest beside the Vilcanota River, the hotel comprises 83 comfortable rooms each slightly different from one another, all having great views out over the park.
The architecture is Spanish colonial in style with stone archways and red tiled roofs. There’s a definite homelike atmosphere inside the hotel, with colorful handcrafted furnishings and spacious rooms filled by plenty of natural light. Guests can enjoy the restaurant overlooking the Vilcanota River and the Unu Spa, which offer typical Andean experiences using local products and techniques. The park is home to more than 214 species of birds and over 372 species of orchids, indigenous palms, ferns, begonias, fruit trees and medicinal plants.
