El Albergue Lodge

A historic whitewashed property that is bursting with character and charm, El Albergue Lodge is set next to the train station in Ollantaytambo and one hour away from the spectacular Inca ruins of Machu Picchu.

Surrounded by hummingbird-dense gardens and engulfed by the scents of passionflowers and peach trees, El Albergue boasts a restaurant that utilises home-grown organic ingredients and fresh produce from the Sacred Valley as well as a traditional Pachamama farm lunch cooked in a hot stove earth oven.

Its 17 rooms are simple and rustic in style, each overlooking magnificent garden and mountain landscapes, and some of the rooms boast private balconies, hammocks and kitchens. Special features of the property include a wood-stove eucalyptus steam sauna, access to the organic coffee roasting facilities, a distillery, and complimentary bicycles for Andean explorations.
