SOL Y LUNA HOTEL
Sol y Luna is located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peru’s treasure chest of smaller, lesser visited archaeological sites.
Its traditional casitas are set amidst 10 hectares of flourishing gardens in the province of Urubamba, at an altitude of 2800m.
Not just an outstanding hotel, the profits from Sol y Luna are used to fund a school for local children.
What we love about Sol y Luna
- The casitas, each constructed from local stone, and individually decorated with Peruvian folk art and locally handcrafted furnishings and ornaments
- The swimming pool and jacuzzi, both with panoramic views of soaring mountain peaks
- The Yacu Wasi spa, with treatments that draw on traditional healing techniques using locally-grown botanicals – the name comes from a Quechua word meaning ‘house of water’
- The food – Sol y Luna’s chefs take seasonal produce, freshly grown in their gardens to create locally inspired dishes, full of Andean flavours and Peruvian staples
What to do at Sol y Luna Hotel
From Sol y Luna, experience tandem paragliding, trekking along Andean terraces, visits to Inca sites such as Moray and Moras, and riding to remote villages to meet local communities.
Spend your days at Sol y Luna exploring the stunning Sacred Valley. Thanks to its remarkable setting, it’s possible to discover the history and architecture of the Sacred Valley whilst pursuing endless outdoor activities. Professional alpinist and North Face athlete Thomas Schilter heads up a range of high-octane experiences, from paragliding over the Andes to mountain biking and white-water rafting.
The Sacred Valley is the gateway to Machu Picchu, where the ruins of the ancient Inca citadel lie high above the clouds in the Andes Mountains. Machu Picchu has to be experienced first-hand to gauge its size and majesty, and we’d recommend allowing at least one full day to peruse the fascinating and intricate stone carvings throughout the site.
When to Travel to the Sacred Valley
We recommend visiting Sol y Luna between April and November for the best weather. The rainy season falls between December and March, with the heaviest downpours typically in January and February.
The Sol y Luna Association is funded by hotel profits and the generosity of guests, friends and benefactors. Any contribution, big or small, supports the association in its mission to pursue inclusion and equality through education for the children of the Sacred Valley, and sustainable work opportunities for local families.
