Colca Lodge

Colca Lodge is located in one of the most spectacular regions in the south of Peru: the Colca Valley. The hotel sits at an altitude of 10,663 feet above sea level on the banks of the Colca River. It is surrounded by hundreds of pre-Inca agricultural terraces, which have been declared a Peruvian cultural heritage area, and is blessed with relaxing hot spring waters rich in the soothing mineral lithium. This is a place with ancient culture, synchronized with nature providing the ideal starting point for exploring the valley and visiting the Colca Canyon, one of the world`s deepest ravines.
