Frequently Asked Questions
What is glamping in Peru?
Glamping in Peru is a way of traveling that combines the adventure of trekking with the comfort of well-equipped accommodations. On routes like the Salkantay Trek, it means sleeping in domes or lodges designed to blend into nature, while still offering real beds, proper lighting, and in many cases, private bathrooms with hot showers.
It’s a way to experience the Andes —and the jungle— without giving up rest and comfort.
What services does glamping offer?
It depends on the level, but on routes like the Salkantay Trek, you can expect:
- Comfortable beds (not tents on the ground)
- Private or shared bathrooms depending on the campsite
- Hot showers (in more advanced camps)
- Electricity and, in some cases, Wi-Fi
- A dining area with full meal service
- Common spaces such as relaxation areas or fire pits
In premium options like Sacred Jungle Lodge, the experience feels much closer to a hotel set in the middle of nature.
Is glamping for women?
Yes, it’s for everyone.
Glamping is ideal for anyone who wants to experience trekking with more comfort and safety, especially if it’s your first time in the mountains or if you prefer not to give up too much comfort.
Many female travelers choose it because it allows them to enjoy the adventure with more privacy, better facilities, and a greater sense of care in every detail.
What are some luxury glamping options in Peru?
On the Salkantay route to Machu Picchu, standout options include:
- Sky Camp (Soraypampa): glass domes with views of glaciers and star-filled skies
- Mountain Sky View (Collpapampa): lodges with private bathrooms in a warmer environment
- Super Jungle Domes (Lucmabamba): elevated comfort in the edge of the jungle
- Sacred Jungle Lodge (Lucmabamba): the most premium option, offering more space, privacy, and refined design
These experiences have redefined trekking in Peru, taking the concept of glamping to another level.
What is the difference between camping and glamping?
The difference comes down to comfort:
Traditional camping: you sleep in tents on the ground, use a sleeping bag, bathrooms are limited or basic, and services are minimal.
Glamping: you stay in a fixed structure (dome or lodge), enjoy real beds, better insulation, and services like private bathrooms, hot showers, electricity, or even Wi-Fi.
What should you wear for glamping?
Even though the accommodation is comfortable, you are still in nature, so you should dress as you would for trekking:
- Technical clothing (layers: base layer, insulation, waterproof jacket)
- Hiking shoes or boots
- Lightweight clothing for warmer areas (such as the jungle in Salkantay)
- Comfortable clothes for relaxing at camp
- Hat, gloves, and sun protection
You don’t need elegant clothing — the experience is natural, not formal.
Do glamping cabins have private bathrooms?
It depends on the campsite.
On the Salkantay route:
- Camps like Mountain Sky View, Super Jungle Domes, and Sacred Jungle Lodge do offer private bathrooms with hot showers.
- Others, like Sky Camp, may have well-maintained shared bathrooms.
In general, the more premium the tour you choose, the higher the level of privacy and services.
Now that you’ve discovered our exclusive camps along the Salkantay route, choose the experience that best matches your travel style and take the next step toward Machu Picchu.
