Description

Colca Lodge is a cozy, eco-friendly hotel architecturally inspired by the Incas and crafted entirely from natural materials to create a unique property that blends in with the landscape. The lodge is spectacularly situated next to the Colca River and in the midst of Inca agricultural terracing, which adds to the authentic ambience of the property.

Although rustic in appearance, guests will find excellent facilities including a well-appointed spa for those looking for some pampering, naturally heated outdoor hot springs, and a spacious common room with a fireplace and charming bar for evening cocktails. In addition to the tranquil atmosphere, the lodge is run by a gracious and friendly staff that provides highly personalized attention to each and every guest.

Colca Lodge is dotted with 3 excellent restaurants and 2 bars serving a wide variety of exquisite regional and international dishes. In the evening, the hotel’s main restaurant serves a delicious fusion cuisine known as Alpandina cuisine, mixing Andean products and alpine techniques (especially from Switzerland). Restaurant Puye provides a more intimate setting where guests can enjoy traditional dishes in a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. For those who appreciate natural surroundings with meals cooked on a charcoal grill, the hotel features a barbecue bar just below the hot springs on the banks of the Colca River.
