Positive: Nazca Lodge - Nasca. Tourists flocking to Peru will know of this historical location due to the incredible, ancient Nasca Lines which can be visited in person or, even better yet, flown over during a half hour flight. As for the Nazca Lodge? Wow, where to even begin! Not to be confused with the Nasca Hostel (as was the case with our taxi driver), the Nazca Lodge is a beautiful, hidden gem located just outside of the city of Nasca. We had no idea what to expect really other than the images we had seen online. As mentioned, our poor taxi driver was lost and brought us to the wrong location. Thus, we decided to call Enrique who was an absolute delight to deal with in helping us, and our driver, in finding this superb location which is neatly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the streets of Nasca. Enrique met us at the gates along with Sandros, both of whom were so helpful in bringing all of our luggage, backpacks, and purchases up to our site. We immediately felt as if we had stepped into a fairy tale story. There really is no other way to describe this beautiful place! From there, we were given a full tour of the grounds whereby Enrique explained the plants and trees they have on site, how they grow their own herbs and spices including mint, basil, lemongrass and rosemary to name but a few, along with explaining the history behind the location and how it since became his family home. The location is magnificent and features a large swimming pool which is wonderful for those who are travelling alone, as a couple, or with children. Along with a swim up bar which offers an incredible selection of cocktails and drinks made with Pisco, the location is tastefully decorated with palm trees, patio seating, four curved bench seats by the bar, along with a larger setting for groups travelling together. The bar itself is a site to behold!
