ARANWA CUSCO HOTEL
is the essence of luxury and comfort in the heart of the Inca city. Built in a colonial mansion of the XVI century, it displays several paintings of the Cusco school, colonial sculptures and carvings that transport us to the greatness of the time. Its elegant rooms, equipped with intelligent oxygen system, its gardens and its sophisticated spa, are complimented by friendly service. The hotel is located 2 blocks from the Main square of Cusco.
PINCOPATA ECOCAMP
Ten minutes away from the quiet town of Mollepata in the province of Limatambo. Using green technology, it offers the area’s first 100% sustainable camping experience. The camp boasts beautiful green lawns and plenty of local flowers planted across the whole area. There is a large fire pit in a quiet corner of the camp, the perfect place for stargazing.
SORAY ECOCAMP
is our second Ecocamp and a 45-minute drive or day trekking from Pincopata. Soraypampa is the beautiful and peaceful area that is only home to a few campsites and our Ecocamp, overlooked by both the Sacred Humantay and Salkantay mountains. Due to the altitude and the cooler temperatures, the environment in Soray Ecocamp is very different to Pincopata, and gives the opportunity to experience a different ecosystem. It offers wonderful views to the snow-capped mountains.
HUMANTAY ECOCAMP
is the highest of all the Ecocamps, sitting at 3,900 m / 12,792 ft. It is also the coldest camp due to the altitude. It is located on a flat expanse of pampa watched over by Mount Humantay.
MILPO ECOCAMP
is the only accommodation offered in the area. The exclusive route between Huayra and Milpo means that you will not meet any other travelers along the way. The camp is located in the cloud forest region, offering the chance to spot endemic orchid species right amongst the domes. The domes all face the valley across the river and the peace of the area is only interrupted by the steady flow of the river in the basin below the camp.
ECOLODGE
Our comfortable, locally owned Ecolodge is situated in Santa Teresa, not far from Machu Picchu. The entire lodge uses natural materials, including wood,rock, and bamboo, and its newest rooms feature private bathrooms. Ever dreamed of living in a grown-up’s treehouse. This is that dream come true.Massages, Adean Spa and outdoor Jacuzzi can be booked with advance notice.The nearby Colcamayo hot springs are actually much nicer as well and hotter than those in Aguas Calientes
