The lush vegetation of the five hectares of tropical gardens unfolds before you at the foot of the citadel of Machu Picchu, in the heart of the cloud forest. Marked paths invite you to explore this paradise of ferns and orchids, of which the estate boasts one of the finest collections in the world, not to mention the many species of birds and butterflies. A little further on, the sacred Inca sites and their secrets await you. After a day spent exploring, it is a delight to come back to the comfort and genuine charm of the villas, enjoy sitting in front of a warm fire and the natural treatments inspired by the spirituality of the Andes in the spa, or taste a “quinotto” (a “risotto” made from quinoa) at the restaurant overlooking the river.
