EL MERCADO, PERU

MODERN BOUTIQUE HOTEL

If you’re the sort of traveller who doesn’t believe in visiting a city, only to stay on the outskirts and waste valuable vacation time travelling to and fro….you should definitely put El Mercado at the centre of your plans for a luxury, tailor-made holiday to Peru.

This modern boutique hotel is an extremely skilful reworking of the old market building, so you’re assured of its preeminent position at the centre of town. You can also be sure that it still receives large amounts of local produce, which El Mercado’s top chefs now turn into the irresistible range of regional specialities served in its fine restaurant. And after dinner? Retire to your suite and soak in a deep, stand-alone bathtub before the heat of an open fireplace.

Note: El Mercado is owned by Mountain Lodges of Peru, who operate the lodge-to-lodge Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu as well as the Sacred Valley and Lares Adventure.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”
The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
