Santa Cruz Lodge

0 1 2

A comfortable Eco-Lodge that acts as the ideal base from which to prepare for the scenic challenge of the Santa Cruz trek.

The Santa Cruz Lodge, located in the foothills of the Huascaran National Park, is a comfortable Eco-Lodge that acts as the ideal base from which to prepare for the scenic challenge of the popular Santa Cruz trek. Based 2,900 metres above sea level, it is perfectly positioned for those wanting to acclimatise for the hike, and its cosy campfire, restaurant serving ingredients mostly produced on site and snug bedrooms, mean it is also a good place to relax and recover afterwards. The lodge is actively involved in projects to improve the local community, with education and technology cornerstones of its attempts at having a positive social impact.

What our clients say

“Terranti is a nice small hotel and we liked it. But if your travellers don't speak Spanish they might struggle here, also the staff were very helpful when you asked…

"Although the trails are busy with noisy parties our knowledgeable guide found the quetzal (5) and many other subjects."
LF, Bristol Mar 2014
This hotel is superb! Service, quality and facilities are all of superior quality. The restaurant too is excellent. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
US, London Dec 2016
It was better than my wildest expectations, especially as value for money is very important for me and I saved 4 yrs for this trip it was worth every penny…
JS, Malvern Feb 2019
"On both occasions, we were upgraded to a suite in a quieter part of the hotel. Staff were very helpful."
