This Peruvian adventure lodge is perfectly integrated into the landscape and utilizes natural elements within and without the lodge. The 45 guest rooms each have wonderful views towards the valley and are built around the gardens and courtyards that flow throughout the adventure lodge.
The Colca Lodge utilizes natural elements in its construction such as earth, stone and straw, integrating buildings with the landscape. The style is rustic, yet comfortable and stylish, with thatched roofs and adobe walls, helping maintain inside temperatures collaborating with the natural environment. The rooms are supplied solar heated hot water. Most rooms also employ heat-radiating stone slabs warmed by the local geothermal energy sources creating a minimal environmental impact.
Aside from the incredible Andean landscape, the natural hot springs are the most notable feature of the Colca Lodge. These hot spring pools are built in natural surroundings by the river. The four pools are fed from a main source with the temperature of 176 degrees Fahrenheit cooled off with fresh river water. Guests enjoy the healing power of the open-air hot pools, each one with a different temperature. Close to the baths are separate changing rooms for men and women as well as lavatories.
