Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel

We stayed here for one night recently after visiting Machu Picchu. It is an exceptional hotel with lovely rooms. The grounds of the hotel are extensive with beautiful gardens and lovely walks. The hotel operates walking tours such as a nature walk, a bird walk & the orchid trail. We had our evening meal in the hotel restaurant & it was very good. There is also a cafe which serves a nice lunch.

This hotel is made up of casitas - little houses scattered on the hillside above Agua Calientes. You go against everything your mother told you and wander across the railway tracks. This is an eco hotel and you cam do their orchid trail. Breakfast and dinner weresuper. Only one thing let them down - my husband missed one of the many steps and grazed his knees very badly. We asked for a first aid kit - plasters, wipes, - but reception had nothing to offer.

Stayed 3 nights in an Inkaterra Suite. Plenty of time to see Machu Picchu, tour tea making, orchids, birds and bears. From the very beginning, service was excellent, staff extremely friendly and helpful. Our guide throughout, Carmen, was the best you could imagine. Saw to our every wish, extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. Our room was beautiful and waking to the sound of birds and occasional train whistle was wonderful! We were met at train station by concierge and escorted to hotel while bags were brought. Bags also delivered to station when we left. Bottle of Pisco in room. Tub must have been 3 feet deep! Perfect for soaking, 2 outdoor showers, one inside and outdoor heated plunge pool. Nice!

We stayed at this fantastic hotel after a day at Machu Pichu. The walk from the buses, returning from Machu Pichu to the hotel was fantastic. Aga Calientes seems to be quite lively. We were greeted with hot towels and tea as soon as we arrived at the hotel. We were with a tour so keys were handed out and we were guided to our rooms in groups. Rooms were very comfortable, umbrellas provided and we had dinner at the hotel restaurant. There are many Eco Tours available at the hotel and we had time the next morning to go to see the Spectacled Bears. Make sure to schedule this as this is the only way to see these rare animals. Our room was next to about 5 Hummingbird feeders, they are much larger birds than in the US and there were LOTS of them, Also a very nice gift shop. If you see it, buy it! Wish we had more time!!!

Exceptional: outdoor tub featuring natural hot water. Wow. Good: Lots of towels and water --- a lot of supposedly upscale places in Peru don't appear to get how important amenities like that are; gorgeous grounds; well appointed rooms. Meh: Wifi (although it is pretty good in the common areas); astronomical bar prices, although you are in town and there are lots of places to buy beer, wine or pisco right outside the compound; no workout facilities (although those apparently aren't a thing in Peru anywhere outside Lima).
