Hotel Rio Sagrado

Without a doubt one of the most uniquely luxurious places to stay in the Scared Valley, Rio Sagrado is built to resemble a rural Peruvian village, placing it, and you, in perfect harmony with its natural surroundings and nearby historic monuments. Set in a scenic spot by the Urubamba river, the hotel is close to the Incan fortress of Ollantaytambo, and is at a comfortable altitude for acclimatising on your way to Cusco.

The 23 rooms, suites and villas feature wooden interiors and locally woven furnishings, creating a traditional Andean aesthetic for a truly immersive experience that doesn’t compromise on luxury. The serenity of the surrounding trees creates a gentle atmosphere that promotes wellbeing and reflection, aided by locally sourced natural products and treatments in the onsite Mayu Willka spa.

The exquisite restaurant, El Huerto, serves traditional Andean cuisine, with ingredients plucked fresh from the hotel garden wherever possible. Dine in the garden, where the bubbling of the nearby river creates an experience for all the senses, or try a traditional Pachamanca lunch, cooked over hot stones in a hole in the ground.
