El Sauce invites you, family's and friends to enjoy an authentic Peruvian experience, which goes back a long way. Guests will enjoy the comfort of the pleasant facilities and the warm atmosphere of a small hostel. This unique accommodation features the magic and charm of the only Inca village still inhabited, its extraordinary landscapes and ancestral routes. With just six guest rooms, each room is complete with a private bath and 24 hour hot water availability.
The hotel is an eco-friendly designed hotel, built and decorated maximizing the use of natural materials; such as the eucalyptus and clay used in our roofs, to the wood battens of the floors.
The hotel's location gives guests a privileged view of Ollantaytambo's ruins, from the dining room, the lounge and from three of the six guest rooms. Nestled right in the middle of town, El Sauce has a great view of the terraces. The dining and lobby areas are bright and inviting, and guests can enjoy their impressive collection of hand-knit hats.

Breakfast Buffet
A delicious buffet is prepared every morning, and can be enjoyed viewing the Inca's building from the dining room and with traditional Cusco style chimney's heat. Natural produce from the hotel's own farm located one mile away is used for breakfast production. Fresh milk, honey and a variety of organic fruit are brought daily and with them delicious jams and some of the juices are prepared. The farm also provides peaches, apples, and local varieties such as sauco, aguaymanto, sachatomate, tiny papayas (“papayitas arequipeñas”), and frutilla (a strawberry type fruit).
Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
THEY GET BACK TO YOU PROMPTLY WITH ANSWERS TO YOUR CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS.

The Adventure Life staff, for me it's Franny, always listens to what I say about what kind of travel my wife and I want and expect. It never goes wrong. The motto at AL seems to be I will get back to you right away if not sooner. Requested changes and special requests are encouraged and acted on ASAP.
