Unique flora, fauna, geographical formations and food produce make up some of the many reasons why Peru’s landscape is so fascinating and magical. At Inkaterra, we are lucky that many of our properties’ gardens are home to all of the above.
Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel
Named Peru’s ‘Garden of Eden’ by Condé Nast Traveller, the gardens at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel are home to the world’s largest collection of native orchid species in their natural habitat. As intrepid explorers make their way through the mysterious Andean Cloud Rainforests, 372 orchids can be found on the fertile land surrounding the hotel; from Lepanthes Miraculum (Orchidaceae) to Trichosalpinx Reticulata.
Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo hotel is also home to its own organic Tea Plantation. The leaves are harvested from the grounds of the hotel before being processed, so guests can enjoy aromatic and organic tea that is sourced right from the hotel’s grounds.
Inkaterra Reserva Amazónica
Situated in the Amazon Rainforest on the banks of the Madre de Dios River, it is little surprise that the grounds surrounding our Inkaterra Reserva Amazónica provide a plethora of wondrous things to see and do.
Climbing atop the Canopy Walkway, explorers can take in the magnificent sights of the Amazon Rainforest at 30m high. For those wanting to fully embrace jungle life at an elevated level, the Canopy Treehouse offers guests luxury accommodation hovering above the forest floor.
Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba
The surrounding farmland of our Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba property has inspired the hotel’s ‘Earth to Table’ concept; with a strong focus on using the produce from the fertile land of the Urubamba Valley to give guests a unique taste exclusive to Inkaterra.
From the welcome drink of chicha morada made from purple corn harvested from the 100 acres of land surrounding the property, to the crops that go into the flavoursome dishes such as quinoa and potatoes that are farmed on the land, at Inkaterra, we never have to travel far to get the ingredients for your next meal!
