Amazing resort in stunning location. We flew into Lima on a Saturday evening, spent one night in Lima and then flew to Cusco the following day (Sunday). We live at sea level and have experienced mild altitude sickness once before on another trip in a different country, so took advice from others on Tripadvisor and left Cusco immediately to base ourselves in the Sacred Valley to acclimatise. We decided to do that at Las Qolqas. What a great decision. Airport transfer taxi arranged by the hotel was great; the resort is amazing and what a stunning location. Ollantaytambo is a lovely place, and the resort is just far enough out to be extremely peaceful and beautiful but close enough for an easy walk to and from the town, along the river (about 25 minutes). Whilst we love hiking, we are not fans of camping (we'll do it only if essential!) but I wouldn't even categorise this resort as 'glamping' as it's much better than that - the lodges are technically partially canvas but they have wooden window and door frames and a full bathroom so really they are more of a 'luxury cabin'. Very comfortable beds, lovely linens, great quality wooden furniture, a safe, a mini fridge... see? Not glamping! Some on here have commented on the rooms being a little dark and they are, though light in the bathroom is better and the hotel provides a lantern to use for walking but this is also helpful in the room if for some reason you need it to be brighter. I definitely wouldn't consider this an issue. Each cabin has an undercover outside space with chairs, bench and table and that's a lovely space to sit in too. We didn't need it but a large umbrella was provided in the cabin also, a nice touch. Each cabin has hedging/ borders with a different plant so as well as being numbered they are named after that plant. We were in 5 'verbena' with verbena hedges - others were fuchsia, etc. Stunning setting and great amenities. The grounds are immaculately maintained. All the staff are lovely. Whilst we make an effort with language, our Spanish isn't great and all staff spoke good English to varying levels. Filtered water is available freely on request from bar/ reception and a new flask of filtered water is left in your bathroom each day for drinking/ tooth brushing etc. The common areas of the resort have lovely decor, and there are some nice seating areas inside and outside. Some board games are left around too and we took advantage of these. We had occasional issues connecting to the wifi but generally this was fine and the signal good. We stayed four nights and were happy with this decision. The first day we arrived late-ish and had a lovely free welcome drink and then a great dinner at the resort. The next day we had a lazy start to the day then spent the afternoon exploring Ollentaytambo, including the ruins. The following day we self-guided ourselves on the hiking path (trail head c.200m from the hotel) to Puma Marca - took is about 1 hr 45 up and about 1 h15 down, and we spe
