Lucmabamba Dulces Sueños Xiomara — Hotel in Santa Teresa

10/10 would recommend!! You MUST stay here for a night if you want a authentic Peruvian experience in Lucmabamba. This felt like a home very far away from our Australian home. The included 3 course dinner and breakfast were the best we have had on the Salkantay trek. Our host Karina was so friendly and welcoming.

I would recommend it to everyone who does the Salkantay trek independently or in...
