Andean Spirit Lodge

Andean Spirit Lodge is a 100% vegetarian guesthouse and can be 100% vegan on request. It is nestled in the warm subtropical Limatambo valley in the Andes near Cusco, Peru. Our guesthouse provides accommodation in spacious and comfortable bungalows built in Andean style with private attached bathrooms.

Attractions of the area

A tranquil beauty spot with fresh air and great mountain views, this is your perfect base from which to explore the numerous attractions of the area, like the condor viewpoint of Chonta in the Apurimaq canyon, the off the beaten track Inka ruins of Killarumiyoq, Tarawasi and Choquechurco or more serious treks like Mount Salkantay/Machupicchu or Choquequirao. 100% veggie/vegan tours to these places and elsewhere in Peru can be organized through our sister company Vegetarian Peru Adventures (www.veggieperu.com).

Our garden

The garden is a sanctuary for both our pets as well as for wildlife, especially birds. There are several species of endemic birds in our garden and small forest, including some rare owls, grosbeaks, anis and hummingbirds. There are some short forest trails on our land with benches to rest on, a place for open air log fires. The place is therefore also a delight for nature lovers and bird watchers. We do not allow pets as we have plenty ourselves!

Delicious veggie food

Our delicious veggie food is prepared with fresh ingredients from our organic orchard and vegetable garden. We love spoiling our guests with gourmet Andean and international cuisine. We bake our own bread, mix our own muesli and make our own jams and chutneys. Our meals are 95% vegan, but can be 100% vegan on request. We have adapted a lot of native Andean dishes to a vegan version, using some power foods like quinoa, chia, amaranth in our meals. Free drinking water and herbal teas are available throughout the day. There is also a bar service for beers and wines (unless you are on a strict alcohol-free retreat).

Yoga and meditation

Yoga classes and meditation sessions are available at an extra cost. You may also want to check out our Yoga holidays and retreats. Certified Yoga instructors and seminar leaders are welcome to host their own group events.
