Colca Lodge – Colca Canyon

Colca Lodge is the perfect place for a digital detox with no TV or electronic distractions. Instead, guests can indulge in a number of nature activities such as horse riding, trekking, mountain biking, white water river rafting, or visits to ancient ruins. You can also relax in the lounge by the cozy fireplace with a good old book or in their Eco-Spa, which offers a wide range of beauty treatments and massages. The highlight of the lodge, however, is its own thermal baths in stone pools which are naturally heated by the volcanic hot springs, a perfect way to unwind after a day exploring the Colca  Canyon and its environment. Their restaurant Puye serves Peruvian specialties and fusion 'Alpadina' cuisine - a unique culinary concept that blends local Andean produce with alpine cooking techniques. Colca Lodge also has a barbecue bar on the banks of the river Colca, which is amazing for some fresh fish with Andean herbs, or a tender piece of marinated meat. The setting and the food make for a great dining experience, which can be further enjoyed by a pisco sour at any of the three bars at the lodge.

The Tambopata Research Center

Found deep in the Tambopata National Reserve, this area is incredibly rich when it comes to biodiversity. The Tambopata Research Center ($830 USD double all-inclusive) is the most remote of the Amazon lodges and requires a day’s traveling to get there. This is why you’re more likely to spot some of the area’s most elusive Amazon creatures!  On you arrive a this remote Amazon Lodge, you’ll quickly learn why it is considered one of the best in the region. Not only has the lodge been a pioneer in environmental protection in the Peruvian Amazon, but they’ve also worked with local indigenous people to help protect their ancestral lands. Rooms are comfortable (we recommend the suites for a much larger room), while its remote location is near the world’s biggest macaw clay lick. This all makes it an amazing place to encounter wildlife including jaguars, giant river otters, macaws, and harpy eagles.
