What a meal!

10.0

What an experience! We did not expect such an incredible meal following our Machu Picchu trip. It included local foods and drinks, excellent and enthusiastic service, and truly a fine dining experience. The only thing I could possibly look more forward to now is the nap on the bus.

Relax and curb your hunger at TINKUY

10.0

After visiting the majestic Machu Picchu site and hiking all the steps around the archaeological site we were so exhausted and our agency had made a lunch reservation for us at the Tinkuy restaurant at the Sanctuary Lodge. They had an amazing buffet with a great Peruvian selection. The service was great and Russell took care of us making sure we were all hydrated after our hike. This is an excellent stop to curb your hunger and get energy before going back down to Machu Picchu Pueblo to catch the train back to Cusco.

Tranquil Sanctuary Lodge

10.0

Sanctuary Lodge is beautiful and tranquil. It is steps away from the entrance to Machu Picchu and saves the long bus queue and ride. The Terrace is stunning, with views of the surrounding mountain area. The natural spring water runs down through the lovely orchid garden landscape, creating a very zen environment. Breakfast is incredible with local fruits and fresh-squeezed juices, along with an excellent choice of breakfast items. Highly suggest the Eggs Benedict as the fresh-baked “English” muffin just melts in your mouth. Breham, our server, went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Highly recommend.

Breham, our waiter, was so kind and helpful. He even gave us a quick tour while we waited. The food was incredible, the location is iconic, and the atmosphere was tranquil. Everything and more than you would expect from a place like this.
