Mountain Lodges of Peru

This unforgettable experience combines the exhilaration of a 50 km trek in the towering Peruvian Andes with the comfort and delights of lovely mountain lodges. Guests on the little-known Salcantay Trail pass through numerous eco-systems at heights ranging from 2100 to 4600 metres. Original Inca paths offer views of snow-capped mountains and glaciers, winding their way to waterfalls, rivers and turquoise lakes. Local inhabitants live isolated in simple houses, much as their ancestors have done for centuries.

Guests are rewarded for their daily exertions with rarely seen views of Machu Picchu, before visiting the ruins the next day. In contrast to the traditional Inca trail, guests are pampered at their overnight stops by attentive and friendly staff, with excellent cuisine, comfortable rooms, hot showers and even heated outdoor jacuzzis.
