Colca Lodge Spa & Hot Springs

Add to wishlist Contact us

Surrounded by ancestral farming terraces in the Colca Valley, Colca Lodge Spa & Hot Springs boast astonishing views over the neighbouring Peruvian National Heritage pre-Inca terraces and across a luscious valley.

Inspired by Inca architecture, the lodge is constructed almost entirely from native materials and techniques that include mud bricks, stones and thatching. A charming lodge that consciously blends in with the surrounding landscape, Colca Lodge Spa & Hot Springs offers 45 exquisite rooms that are decorated with rustic furnishings and bold fabrics and connect with the impressive gardens. Also featuring a bar and restaurant, indulgent treatment rooms and an excellent spa with a jacuzzi, sauna and thermal baths fed by local hot springs, Colca Lodge Spa & Hot Springs is a truly special property in a remarkable location.

Why we like Colca Lodge Spa & Hot Springs

Describing their plot as a place where the river is united with the sky, the sun is aligned with the moon, and the mind is unified with the body, visitors to Colca Lodge Spa & Hot Springs can expect a spiritually-charged and highly rejuvenating experience. With privileged access to four thermal springs, which are unique in Peru, guests can even bathe in the natural mineral-rich pools at night-time while gazing at a star-filled sky.

Activities

A paradise for nature lovers and those interested in ancient cultures, Colca Lodge Spa & Hot Springs offers a number of thrilling explorations of the surrounding landscape, including memorable riverside meals cooked over charcoal, alpaca farm visits, hikes to the nearby pre-Inca ruins and spectacular horseback riding.
