Las Qolqas Eco Lodge, located near Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley, offers an eco-friendly and sustainable retreat. Just a short distance from local villages and the train station to Machu Picchu, the lodge combines luxury with a deep commitment to the environment and community, promoting sustainable tourism, employing local villagers, sourcing organic produce, and minimising environmental impact through solar energy and eco-conscious architecture. The lodge’s restaurant operates with a zero-mile policy, using produce grown in nearby Inca agricultural terraces, allowing guests to help harvest their meals.
Each tented bungalow is surrounded by native plants and offers privacy, scenic views, and visits from local wildlife, such as hummingbirds and condors. Guests can immerse themselves in the tranquillity of nature, enjoy locally inspired cuisine, or participate in activities like yoga, meditation, and Andean healing practices. The lodge also supports the surrounding Patacancha River Valley through a non-profit association that funds local initiatives.
