False or visit www. Balesworldwide. com27 Perhaps not so well- known outside of Peru, the exclusive Inkaterra collection of hotels offers international standards to discerning travellers. Each one featured below is different reflecting the environment in which they are located. Guest comfort is an important consideration and although the jungle humidity or high altitude of Cusco and Lake Titicaca can be challenging environments, Inkaterra do their utmost for your well- being. Location is also an important ingredient and again, the Inkaterra hotels all enjoy situations where you can immerse yourself conveniently in the local environments. We are confident that you will enjoy your stay at the Inkaterra collection. The Inkaterra collection Reserva AmazonicaLa Casona, Cusco Inkaterra Machu Picchu Titilaka, Lake Titicaca Lying at the heart of some 11,700 hectares of private conservation area, adjacent to the Tambopata National Reserve, Inkaterra’s Amazon lodge is located at the centre of one of the most bio- diverse regions in the world. Flying to Puerto Maldonado, you will be met and transferred along the Madre de Dios River to the lodge. The 30 spacious and comfortable thatched private cabanas ( cabins) have been inspired by native Amazon design, and each one has a central ceiling fan. At the heart of the property is the 2- storey Amazon Pavillion, which includes the large dining room. The food served is prepared with fresh local ingredients, inspired by the tropical flavours of the Amazon region. Every day you can choose from a number of different guided activities and excursions lasting from several hours to a full day. These include nature walks, nocturnal observations, visiting local communities and hopefully seeing a lot of birds, monkeys, caiman and the giant river otter. Occupying the confines of a 16th century mansion in the cobblestoned heart of Cusco, this spectacular colonial manor house has 11 exceptional suites, built around a courtyard to create a setting of timeless elegance and taste. Located on the Plaza Las Nazarenas, next to the Museum of Pre- Columbian Art, this was once the home of Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro, the first of Spain’s Conquistadores.
