Lodges in Cusco

It’s hard to choose what I loved most about Spirit of the River Lodge, everything was truly wonderful. The location is magical and peaceful, with the sound of the river always in the background and barely any traffic passing by. We stayed twice, in two different rooms, and both were beautifully designed, cozy, and offered gorgeous views of the river. You can really feel how thoughtfully everything was created to respect and highlight the natural surroundings. The lodge has a sauna overlooking the river, direct access to the water, and a small yoga shala where I enjoyed my morning practice and reading. Claudia and Rudi were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. They made us feel like family. We had dinner one night and breakfast each morning, and even as vegans, we felt so well cared for. The food was amazing. They also have lovely animals, a llama named Tupac and two sweet dogs, Max and Juanita, who added so much joy to our stay. The area is relaxing but also well located, with easy access to nearby towns and cities. We came back twice because we truly fell in love with the place. I can’t recommend it enough!

What a stunning place to know as your home in a magical area in the mountain. The family are beautiful, and very wise. They have a sacred connection with the land and kindly share teachings of the history and traditional practices, music and pottery. The facilities are perfect for the price. A comfortable bed hot shower and kitchen with nice steel cooking pots. Fancy staying in tranquility in the mountains with a shop selling all organic groceries just a few minutes away. This is the place to come!

I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful way to arrive in Peru than at this special place. I initially planned to stay four days but ended up staying ten—and I already plan to come back. The rooms are cozy and clean. The shared kitchen is great for cooking, and the showers are warm and spotless. Wallpari Sonqo is located about 5 km outside of Pisac in Maska, surrounded by pure nature and a welcoming community of medicine people. Healing happens here on many levels. Many thanks to Cosma, Tento, the local community, and all the guests who made this stay so memorable.

The location and setting on the farm is magical, tranquil and the atmosphere was super welcoming, really felt at home. Our son really enjoyed exploring the land, playing with the animals on the farms and chatting to volunteers helping out on the farm, who were all super nice as well.

The people, the location, the food, the massage.
