One of National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World, the charming hacienda style hotel, Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba sits in one of the most remarkable locations in the world, the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Sitting between the UNESCO world heritage sites of Cusco and Machu Picchu, the hotel occupies 100 acres of green mountainside. Each accommodation is unique and full of character, with individually built casitas that overlook the dramatic Peruvian landscape. Their luxury is evident in their tasteful commitment to colonial furnishings, Inca décor and handcrafted woodwork. Pima cotton sheets are paired with vibrantly coloured baby alpaca wool blankets, a welcome sight after a day of excursions. These excursions are designed and hosted by the hotel team, dedicated to showcasing the very best sights in the Sacred Valley. Dazzling scenery, hospitable people in their picturesque villages and the authentic Peruvian experience are what travellers come from far and wide to experience. Whilst days are spent walking through villages and seeing the craftsmanship of the local people, there is also the opportunity to get the adrenaline pumping with outdoor activities. Horseback riding, Helicopter tours, mountain biking and river rafting are among the few experiences that guests can take to get that sense of adventure that they crave.

Surrounded by the gorgeous and vast Andes Mountains within the Sacred Valley of the Incas lies Hotel Sol y Luna. There is an abundance of natural landscapes of lush agrarian terraces, pre-Columbian ruins, and Spanish colonial churches. Nestled within the property lies ‘casita’ houses hosting guests and made of local stone and uniquely decorated so no two are the same. These accommodations lie within gardens filled with native flowers that all face the mountains, an ancient tradition of the Incas. From these gardens comes the freshest ingredients which are used to carry out Andean flavours in the hotel’s gastronomy. Dining at Sol y Luna is an extraordinary experience where taste-buds marvel at the innovative and delicious Peruvian cuisine. Hotel Sol y Luna does not just offer culinary experiences but also experiences by land. Guests are able to fly through the air on a tandem paraglide catching glimpses of the approaching landscape or cycling throughout the land or kayaking under snowcapped peaks. So many ancient areas and beautiful settings are within short distance from Hotel Sol y Luna and waiting to be explored.

As the first boutique hotel to grace this lovely Peruvian area, Inkaterra La Casona is a beautifully appointed manor house located in the Plaza de las Nazarenas. Embark down a vivacious cobblestoned street into the old training grounds of an elite army of Incas to find a luxury holiday waiting. In order to portray the original charm, Inkaterra restored the original architecture therefore keeping with culture and tradition yet still managing to incorporate modern day luxuries such as heated floors and extravagant bathtubs. The 11 suites surrounding the patio are located down long halls displaying colonial furniture, Pre-Columbian textiles, and traditional murals. Culture and tradition is carried out throughout every aspect of the hotel, including the dining room and spa. The spa is composed of a Yacu therapy room offering a variety of massages and treatments using products made from local botanicals. This intimate atmosphere and array of unique treatments lend to a relaxing and tranquil spa experience while visiting Inkaterra La Casona.
