La Confianza Hotel: A sustainable retreat to disconnect in Lunahuaná.

Located less than ten minutes from Lunahuaná, La Confianza Hotel emerges as the perfect retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature. This charming establishment, which sits on the foundations of an old winery built in 1908, has been carefully adapted since its opening in 2010 to offer guests a restful experience that respects both the natural surroundings and the rich history of the place. Juan Pablo Zolezzi, the hotel's owner, highlights the philosophy that guides his project: "We wanted to create a synergy between respect for nature and the heritage that the property carried, and give that experience to the customer with good quality service." This premise translates into a series of ecological initiatives that include the use of LED lighting, solar panels, and spring water, all in an environment where silence and peace take center stage. The cabins at La Confianza offer a quiet and comfortable atmosphere, designed to disconnect visitors from the frantic pace of urban life. In an attempt to foster total disconnection, the rooms do not have televisions, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the relaxation experience. In this corner of the Lunahuaná valley, one can enjoy a warm and sunny climate year-round, as well as a space that invites meditation and introspection. During the evenings, visitors can enjoy a bonfire that provides warmth and a cozy touch to the atmosphere, complemented by a selection of pisco shots at the rustic bar that once served as the production center of the winery. This space is not only a place to taste local drinks but also an opportunity to share stories and forge connections with other travelers. Gastronomy also holds a prominent place at La Confianza, with a menu that highlights the native flavors of the region. The offerings include shrimp and trout, prepared with an approach that emphasizes the freshness of local ingredients. "With warm service, we want to complement the customer's desire to get out of Lima and breathe, thus having a memorable experience," adds Zolezzi, reflecting the hotel's mission to provide not just a place to rest, but a comprehensive experience. Since its opening, La Confianza has received several awards, including the Tripadvisor Traveller's Choice Awards, which highlight positive reviews from travelers around the world. These accolades are a testament to the hotel's commitment to excellence in service and customer satisfaction. Beyond the hotel facilities, visitors can explore the charming village of Catapalla, where there is a nearly 100-year-old suspension bridge. Just a short walk away, travelers can visit the La Reyna de Lunahuaná winery, one of the oldest in the region, where artisanal wine is still produced in a traditional manner. The experiences don’t end there; at the winery, tourists can participate in tours to learn firsthand about the wine and liquor-making process, while next door is the Mis Girasoles beekeeping operation, where fresh honey can be purchased. For the more adventurous, just 30 minutes from La Confianza lies a lesser-known destination famous for the discovery of an intact mummy, although it is recommended to visit with a local guide. For those seeking a dose of adrenaline, Lunahuaná is also a paradise for adventure sports. The hotel facilitates access to trusted agencies that offer activities such as canopy, rafting, and ATV tours. The area's landscape, with its majestic Cañete River and imposing hills, provides the perfect backdrop to enjoy these outdoor experiences. In summary, La Confianza Hotel stands as an ideal option for those wishing to disconnect and reconnect with nature. With its focus on sustainability, exemplary hospitality, and a privileged location, this retreat invites travelers to enjoy the beauty of Lunahuaná, a destination easily accessible from Lima that promises warmth, tranquility, and endless adventures.
