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.

Hello all the folks at Peru Gateway Travel,
We had a fantastic time in Peru. We thank you all for making
our trip a success.
The only concern is that the accommodation in Cusco was below
average and we would not recommend the Emparada Plaza (?) to
anyone. Even though the staff was good, the room/bathroom,
breakfast was very bad.
Once again, thanks a lot for making our trip to your country a
memorable one. All the guides, especially Guillarmo in Lima
and Erica in Cusco, were excellent.

We arrived home at 4 o'clock in the
morning, very tired (we had a long lay-over in Amsterdam) but very
very happy. I am so pleased to tell you that our Peru vacation that
you planned for us was excellent! Everything was just as the
itinerary said it would be. We were very pleased with the hotels,
and the transfer people and guides were always there and everybody
was so nice and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about your very
exciting country and its history, particularly about the Quechua
culture. We will always remember the Inti Raymi festival in Cusco. I
am so glad we were able to see that. Of course Machu Picchu was also
a great highlight. And, Michael and I also very much liked Arequipa.
We didn't know much about that city, but we had a very great time
there on our free day and visited the cathedral, spent a lot of time
going through the Santa Catalina monastario and, of course, went to
the museum to see "Juanita". Beautiful architecture there too.
Really, every day was wonderful, and we would like to thank you so
much for all your efforts. Also please extend our thanks to Maria
Carmen who was so helpful on the phone and to Julia, who came to the
hotel our first night to explain many things to us and give us all
our tickets and vouchers. And perhaps you also had something to do
with our last night in Lima at the Libertador. We got a suite -- a
very big beautiful room! Thank you so much.
We wish you and your family all the best, and for sure we will be
recommending Peru Gateway Travel to our friends.
