Colca Lodge
Colca Valley
Arequipa, Peru
The Colca Lodge is located 170 Km north from Arequipa City
in the middle of the Colca Valley, at 3,250 meters above sea
level. A fascinating zone which forms a
part of the Volcanic Mountain Range of the Occidental Andes of the South
of Peru.
The Colca Lodge has comfortable
rooms, bar-restaurant service and a special personalized treatment, and also
offer you the opportunity to enjoy a marvelous natural environment which includes thermal water
springs with medicinal properties ideal from which to observe the impressive star filled
sky of the southern hemisphere.
This valley has been inhabited for more than 1,500 years by pre-inca ethnic people ando Incas who in it, developed an impressive agricultural system carried out in Andene terraces that at some point covered an extension of more than 10,000 hectares. The Valley also holds a valuable legacy of the Viceroyal age built by 16 towns of spanish trace, each one with a temple of unique architecture. The people of the valley still keep many of the habits, customs and traditions of the pastoral Incan life.
For lovers of outdoor exercise, Colca Lodge offers ideal conditions to take horse rides, hikes toward historic places such as the Uyu Uyu Ruins (the largest of the region), to go fishing for trout in the Colca River, mountain biking, etc.
Finally, Colca Lodge will serve as a strategic parting and arrival point if you decide to visit the Valley with the family or if your adventurous spirit takes you to explore the source of the Amazon River, the Sabancaya Volcano in full activity or the Colca Canyon, the deepest of the world, where you will also be able to appreciate the elegant and spectacular flight of the Condor.
This giant bird with a wing span up to 3.2 meters sleeps and breeds in this region, every morning they use the upwind in the canyon to soar high up into the sky before gliding on the morning winds to the coast in search for food.

Our tour to
the islands on Lake Titicaca was a
wonderful day. We had great weather and the people that we met
were very friendly. The island of Taguile was a beautiful little
paradise. The hotel in Puno was very good, with a great
breakfast. It is too bad we could only stay one night. We kept
the room for the second night so that we could freshen up before
going on the bus to Cusco Peru.
Thank you for everything that you have done to make our trip so
enjoyable. Please pass along to Christi our thanks for the great
job that she did in organizing our tour. She was able to
assemble an itinerary that included everything that we asked for
and still was not too rushed. It was an enjoyable, informative
and relaxing time.
Thank you again to all of the staff at
Peru travel Gateway
and your suppliers for making this a wonderful experience.

We had a very nice trip to Peru.
Thanks for you help. Our hotels in Peru
were what we expected, very nice and the hotel help went out of
their way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed.
Our guides were outstanding. Always on time and catered to our
needs. Our groups were small except for the Sacred Valley tour where
we had 25 members. Food was plentiful and tasty at each restaurant.
The Hotel Casa Andina in Cusco gave us an upgrade when we returned
from MP which was very nice. Also, the Radisson gave us an upgrade
when we returned to Lima although we stayed only 6 hours.
Again, thanks for your services. I feel very fortunate that I
selected your travel services, because of the services. Several on
the trip thought I was mighty brave to select an unknown agency. I
was impressed with Ivan during our first emails and phone
conversations. I trusted him and he trusted me, this makes for happy
results for everyone.
Sincerely, Mary Earp.

I just returned back to the US from my trip to Peru. I wanted to let
you know how grateful I am for the wonderful experience that you
help me coordinate and plan. I loved all of the sites and felt I had
a unique experience that I will never forget.
The tour planners and the tour
guides were all wonderful and extremely helpful. Each of them were
very polite and knowledgable about their subjects and locations. I
learned alot about Peru and its customs.
The hotel on Machu Picchu (Sanctuary Lodge) and the hotel in Puno
(The Libertador) were excellent and I would recommend anyone to stay
in each of those locations. The San Augustin El Dorado was just
adequate; I found the hotel to be clean and the staff helpful, but
there is too much noise during the evening and mornings; this is
because many of the rooms overlook the central lobby of the hotel
and the acoustics create echos of sound from the front desk and
those people having conversations in the lobby area. Also, the space
heaters in each of the El Dorado rooms I stayed in did not work at
all. I do not think I would recommend the hotel to people unless
they didn't mind a noisy atmosphere.
The Posada del Inca hotel in Bolivia was very nice; I really liked
the rustic feel and intimate setting and the private gardens--the
views of Lake Titicaca and the mountains were spectacular. Although
I didn't realize it would be a hike (literally) up to it. One of the
couples I was travelling with on the first day in Bolivia had
trouble making it up the hillside (they didn't know they would have
to hike to the top to get to the hotel). I would recommend letting
potential guests know that it is a 40 - 45 minute hike from the dock
to the hotel itself. The guides were very helpful and it was good
that our luggage was carried up separately.
The trip was amazing and I just wanted to thank you for all of your
planning. I would recommend you and your staff to everyone I know
who wanted to plan a trip to go to Peru.
Have a wonderful new year!
Regards,
Wendy
