Rooms

The 22 rooms at Empedrada Ranch & Lodge are housed in a colonial-style building that once belonged to the original landowners. Each room has a private bathroom, air conditioning, and is furnished with antique pieces and pre-Inca artifacts on display. Some superior king rooms add a balcony jacuzzi with views of the surrounding avocado and tangerine plantations.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves local cuisine with a menu that changes daily, using produce from the farm such as avocados, tangerines, and blueberries. Guests can order room service for breakfast, and the bar offers wine and champagne. The coffee house on site provides an alternative spot for drinks, and special diet menus are available on request.

Entertainment & Activities

The hotel organizes walking tours of the Supe Valley and tour classes about local culture, plus live sport events broadcast in the shared lounge. A chapel and shrine on the grounds offer a quiet space, and board games and puzzles are available in the lounge. The terrace with outdoor furniture and sun loungers overlooks the valley, and the garden is open to all guests.

Location & Practical Info

Empedrada Ranch & Lodge sits in the Supe Valley, a 35-minute drive from the Sacred City of Caral and 10 minutes from the Peñico archaeological site. The hotel is 4 hours from Lima by car, and the final stretch requires driving across a dry riverbed in dry season or taking an alternate route (via Acaray) during rainy season from January to May. Guests should download the Google Maps area beforehand, as cell service is absent in the valley, and the hotel recommends a 4x4 vehicle.
