Fodor's Expert Review Refugio Viñak
Santiago de Viñak Village, Viñak, Lunahuaná, Lima, Peru
In a breathtaking setting high in the Andean foothills, this cozy lodge affords access to more than 80 km (50 miles) of hiking trails that offer a glimpse of Andean life few tourists will ever see. It's operated by Mountain Lodges of Peru, the same company that runs the luxury lodge-to-lodge trek on the Salkantay trail in the Cusco area. Earth-toned stone and wood buildings are perched on a ridge with sweeping views of green valleys below. The vistas are especially impressive from the restaurant, which serves a mix of Novo Andino and international plates utilizing local produce. Rooms have a comfortable, alpine-cabin feel, with stone walls and wood-beam ceilings.
