Excellent location!

9.1

Tucked away in the impressive Colca Valley, this rustic-style inn features thermal baths, one of them being covered, the others being opened, all of them, nestled in a majestic landscape with a view of the Colca river and dominants mountains. Rooms are styled with rustic walls in delicate pale olive shades, all of them having a view of the valley and the river. Each room has a small balcony or terrace where you can admire a splendid view. All rooms have modern private bathrooms. A full American breakfast is served in the Restaurant; this one features panoramic windows with views of the valley and serves local specialties. There is also a small central iron-cast fireplace. El Refugio is ideally located 1640 feet from Chivay’s bus station.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
