In the heart of the Colca Canyon between the rivers Colca and Huaruro you will find our lodge. We are a family business that opened its doors in 2001 with the purpose of providing accommodation for tourists independently trekking along the less conventional route. Situated in a lovely location along the side of the mountain and the shores of the rivers, we are the first accommodation to have medicinal thermal baths (hot springs) that reach temperatures up to 38 degrees Celsius. We have comfortable rooms within a beautiful, lush tropical environment which will ensure your stay is an unforgettable experience.
The lodge is located 1 hour by car or 5 hours walking from the pueblo of Cabanaconde, Peru.
