Parador del Colca is a small 7-bedroom eco lodge nestled in one of the pre Inca terraces in the Colca Valley, on the left bank of the Colca river close to the village of Yanque. It is built with materials natural to the valley: adobe, stone, straw and wood. The twin bedded rooms are simply but tastefully decorated and all have lovely views.

Energy for the lodge is both solar and via a diesel generator. Electricity until midnight and 24 - hour hot water.

Beautiful views, cozy dining room and lounge and landscaped grounds leading to the river.

Lovely terrace for breakfast and alfresco lunch. Very good food and friendly staff. Horse riding possible upon request.

LOCATION: In Colca Valley, 100 miles north of Arequipa, Peru, in the colonial village of Yanque. Surrounded by rare flowers, geysers, and soaring Condors, and the world's largest humming bird.
