Hikes
There are a variety of hikes you can enjoy to and from the Inca trail Ecolodge.
From Ollantaytambo to our IT Ecolodge, you have at least two options: One long hike (5 hours) and a shorter hike (3 hours). The long hike starts right from Ollantaytambo, after crossing over the Urubamba River by way the Old Inca Bridge and turn right to follow the Inca trail all the way to our Inca Trail Ecolodge. For the shorter hike you need to take a taxi from Ollantaytambo to begin hike at Tanja; you cross the river by way of a small hanging bridge and turn right to follow the same old Inca Trail to our Inca Trail Ecolodge.
Varied hikes to enjoy from the Lodge: You can choose to hike from 1 to 5 hours in nearby trails to the Inca trail Ecolodge. These hikes can take you to the Inca settlement remains of Sala Punku in less than an hour and from there you can continue for 2 to 4 more hours hiking to visit a beautiful set of Inca Terraces, small farms to meet people on their daily agricultural chores, learn how they work the land.
Wellness
For your enjoyment and well-being, we provide access to a wood-fired rustic sauna. We use Eucalyptus wood grown in the premises to heat up the Sauna, the fire-wood is fed into a stove from the outside, that heats up a group of river stones inside the sauna. Placing Eucalyptus leaves over the hot stones and sprinkling water over them for steam, provides steam hot Eucalyptus aroma; great to decongest lungs and feel good.
