Chapter 02 · Spa Awards profile

UNU Spa is the current name of the spa at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel in Aguas Calientes, Peru. This profile replaces the generic legacy name “Inkaterra Spa” with the identity used by Inkaterra.

“Unu” means water in Quechua. Inkaterra describes the concept as a meeting of conventional spa care and Andean traditions, with products made from local botanical extracts.

The spa is located within the hotel grounds near the Andean sauna and a flowing spring-water plunge-pool area. These facilities form part of the hotel setting rather than a separate city-centre day spa.

The official fact sheet publishes a schedule of 09:00 to 21:00. Operating times and therapist availability should still be confirmed for the exact stay dates, especially around train schedules and excursions.

The current official treatment list includes deep tissue, de-stress and dual de-stress options, foot therapy, head massage, reflexology, hot stones and a treatment connected with the property's tea plantation.

It also lists a coca-leaf exfoliation, facial hydration and a service called The Walker. Guests should request the current menu for duration, steps, ingredients and contraindications rather than infer details from the title.

Most treatments can be arranged in a hotel room for an additional charge according to the official fact sheet. Andean hot stones are specifically limited to UNU Spa itself.

In-room service is subject to availability and does not mean that every spa facility moves to the room. Ask which therapist, equipment, setup and cleaning arrangements apply.

The fact sheet identifies UNU Spa as an additional-charge hotel service. A room booking or dining package should therefore not be assumed to include treatments.

Prior reservation is advisable because hotel days often combine a Machu Picchu visit, guided nature activities and fixed train movements. Allow enough time to return, shower and arrive without rushing.

Ask reception how to reach the spa through the five-hectare hotel grounds and whether the path includes steps, slopes or wet surfaces. The property is near Aguas Calientes railway station at the foot of Machu Picchu Mountain.

Confirm whether sauna and plunge-pool access is tied to a treatment, hotel residency or a separate schedule. Their proximity to the spa does not prove unrestricted inclusion.

Botanical and traditional descriptions are part of the hospitality concept and do not guarantee medical or therapeutic results. Ask for the full ingredient list if allergies or sensitivities are relevant.

Disclose pregnancy, recent surgery, injury, cardiovascular concerns, skin conditions and medication before booking. Massage, heat and cold-water exposure may require adaptation or personal medical advice.

Altitude, walking, weather and travel fatigue can affect comfort. Hydrate, avoid excessive heat and leave the sauna or plunge area if dizzy, short of breath or unwell.

Spa services do not replace diagnosis, physiotherapy or medical treatment. Anyone seeking pain treatment or recovery support should discuss appropriate care with a qualified health professional.

Prices are not reproduced because the official menu and supplements can change. Request the final amount, currency, taxes, in-room surcharge, cancellation rule and payment method.

For information, Inkaterra directs visitors to their assigned reservation contact or [email protected]. Use the current official channel rather than the obsolete URL stored on the former profile.

This profile contains four archived images and needs two additional verified photographs to reach the six-media standard. No new official photograph has been copied without documented reuse permission.

Before visiting, confirm the current schedule, treatment menu, facility access, prices and reservation requirements with Inkaterra. This profile reflects official information checked on 14 August 2026.
