As the Incas 500 years before them, the team of Jose Koechlin started from scratch to design the Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel with the materials of the region, so that the guest is immersed in this Inca atmosphere but can also benefit  from the natural biodiversity, beauty, tranquillity, and the mystical cloud forest of Cusco.

Some of the cottages overlook the garden of orchids, the others being located near the Vilcanota river, unless you choose to stay in a Inkaterra Suite which enjoys a private garden and a covered terrace. All cottages known as "casitas" have a sitting area or a separate lounge to relax or eat near the fireplace. The bathrooms are spacious and if you are staying in one of the larger suites you will also have a shower and a garden bench. The rooms are furnished in a colonial style and for environmental concerns, your sheets are made of 100% cotton, the Inkaterra Machu Picchu Andean slippers are made with recycled materials and a complete set of toiletries have been hand selected to respect the environment.
