Lunch at Café Inkaterra in Aguas Calientes

After the citadel comes the quiet part of the day. A Café Inkaterra lunch in Aguas Calientes gives you a table away from the crowds, with a view over the Vilcanota River and the greenery around it. The restaurant sits under a traditional palm-thatched roof of the Ese'Eja Amazonian people.

The kitchen blends Peruvian dishes with contemporary cooking, and the menu includes vegan and vegetarian choices. You sit wherever you like and place your order. Plan about two hours for the meal. It is a good fit for anyone coming down from the ruins and wanting to sit, eat and rest.

• Starter, main course and dessert
• Water (not bottled)
• Hot drinks

Other drinks are not included. The setting belongs to Inkaterra, a company that takes an ecotourism approach, focuses on sustainable development and supports the nearby local communities. There is no guide on this experience, and it is not suitable for wheelchair users.
