Staying at this thatched lodge lets you sample jungle living right outside of Santa Teresa, with optional adventure-tour packages that also include Machu Picchu visits. Rooms feature mosquito nets, but still bring repellent. The open-air living room is cloaked in thick vegetation. It’s rustic and pricey, but undoubtedly the most ambient spot around. A fun choice for groups.
Also offers coffee and healing herbs tours. Contact ahead for train station pickup (S5 per person) and transfers from Cuzco.
