Dome Sweet Dome – I found my happy place!
If the words glamping and Machu Picchu appeal to you, Peru Eco Camp was made for you!
The property offers a unique opportunity to experience glamping in Peru with five eco camps spread out on the way to Machu Picchu. Instead of conventional hotel rooms, the camp offers futuristic, dome-shaped tents that seem straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Peru Eco Camp is the first establishment to offer private, luxury campsites in Peru’s iconic mountain range, the Andes. The property’s geodesic domes allow guests a front-row seat to the most breathtaking mountains you’ve ever seen and a canopy of millions of twinkling stars—all that plus five-star service and the beautiful Humantay Lake just 40 minutes away.
I had seen eco domes before and always dreamed of experiencing an eco-camp stay of my own. I was excited to discover Peru Eco Camp, a property in the Mollepata district in the heart of the Andes.
Perhaps most impressively, the property does all of this while going above and beyond to practice sustainability. It uses solar energy for electricity and maintains its own garden, which keeps guests fed with fresh produce.
The journey from the Sacred Valley to Mollepata took three to four hours. But trust me, it was totally worth it. As we wound through the mountains, the breathtaking views built my excitement for what was to come.
Upon arrival at the camp, the bright turquoise domes stood out against the vibrant flower gardens, creating a magical atmosphere. The family who ran the camp warmly welcomed us and offered us Coca tea to help us adjust to the altitude. The camp’s resident cat even came to say hello, adding to the place’s charm.
These domes are luxurious glamping pods that blend comfort with eco-conscious design. Completely private, they offer an oasis of tranquility in the Andes. Inside, you’ll find a plush king-size bed, a hot shower with massaging jets (talk about fancy), a wood stove to keep you cozy, and plenty of fluffy blankets.
The entire camp is powered by solar energy, sustains itself with organic gardens, and relies on natural water sources—so you can relax in style, knowing you’re minimizing your environmental footprint.
The geodesic eco domes at Peru Eco Camp are marvels of design and comfort. With panoramic windows offering stunning mountain views, they feature eco-friendly amenities and thoughtful touches that make your stay restful and inspiring.
The property is thoughtfully designed to blend comfort and sustainability, offering unforgettable glamping in Peru.
In addition to the luxurious sleeping domes, the camp offers several inviting common areas where you can unwind and socialize:

More than just a stay, it felt like family at Peru Eco Camp. The camp is run by a kind and accommodating family, who made our experience truly special. The friendly cat roaming the camp added to the homey vibe, making us feel right at home.
The staff at Peru Eco Camp were incredible! They went above and beyond with their service—always offering a friendly smile and ready to help with anything you needed. They were super passionate about sustainability, and their knowledge of the area was incredible.
One moment that really stood out was when they woke up with us at 3 a.m. for our trip to Humantay Lake. They packed us a delicious breakfast to-go, complete with snacks, and helped carry our luggage down. That’s what I call going the extra mile!

This hidden gem in the Andes feels like heaven on earth. Trails begin right outside your door, allowing you to hit the mountains as soon as you wake up. Plus, there are plenty of incredible local sites nearby, making it the perfect launching pad for all your adventures.
What you’ll appreciate most is the peaceful and quiet environment—a world away from the chaos of city life. Imagine fresh mountain air, breathtaking views, and the sensation of being completely off the grid—it’s pure bliss!
Peru Eco Camp offers a range of on-site activities. Whether you’re seeking adventure or tranquility, the property provides a range of activities perfect for immersing yourself in the natural beauty of the Andes. One of the highlights was the stargazing. The skies around the camp are so clear that it feels like you’re peering through a giant window into space. And yes, we braved a 3 a.m. wake-up call to be the first ones at Humantay Lake, and it was absolutely worth it!
