Inkaterra Machu Picchu Review

A five-minute walk from the center of town takes you to this stunning ecolodge in its own minitropical cloud forest. The stone bungalows, none with the same design, have a rustic elegance, with exposed beams and cathedral ceilings.

The restaurant overlooking the surrounding hills is first-rate—try the delicious crema de choclo (corn chowder). The place was renamed in 2007, but everyone still refers to it as the Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel.

There will be little choice but to unwind here—and without in

    everything about this hotel is just perfect but it's let down by the slow service in the restaurant and a very boaring menu
