Where to Stay
- We booked our trip through Carlos from Aventura Quechua who put together the perfect jungle + trek trip. He secured our Inca Trek permits in limited time (someone located in Peru must do this), provided an amazing guide (Juan) and crew for our private tented 4 day Inca Trail trek and arranged post trek transportation. He also planned our 3 day jungle excursion to Tambopata in the Peruvian Rainforest including ground transportation and accommodations in Cusco and Ollantaytambo.
- Inkaterra in Machu Picchu: A great spot to relax and have a well deserved Pisco Sour after the trek.
- Apu Lodge in Ollantaytambo (The Sacred Valley): A small, beautiful and basic lodge/guest house situated in Inca ruins and close to the town square. There are many amazing 5 star hotels located in the Sacred Valley but I was happy with our decision for the cultural immersion it provided.
- Tambopata Eco Lodge in the Peruvian Rainforest. Loved the journey by boat to this remote jungle lodge. The staff was friendly and helpful, food was fresh and delicious. The accommodations were basic, no light or electric outlets in our room but we did have hot water and mosquito nets. (There was a charging station for phones and electronics inside the main lodge.) Several excursions were included; a night time boat ride on the river, a fun walk in the jungle during the day.
