ADVENTURE AWAITS
Slip into the rhythm of Peruvian life at the HOTEL RIO SAGRADO.
Built to resemble a rural Peruvian village, the Hotel Rio Sagrado is one of the most unique luxury hotels in Peru. Situated at a lower altitude than nearby Cusco, the hotel provides the perfect environment to acclimate, and works as a base from which to explore the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. With only 23 accommodations, each with its own terrace or balcony, the resort is a quiet hideaway in nature. The two restaurants serve Peruvian cuisine with seasonal produce grown in the property’s garden.
Guests can enjoy rafting down the Urubamba river, participating in authentic Andean rituals, and endless opportunities to explore the Sacred Valley. Nearby, the picturesque patchwork of 4,500 salt wells make up the Maras Salt Mines, a UNESCO Heritage Site that serves as an inspiring reminder of Incan innovation.
Saddle up and seek adventure on one of the hotel’s horseback tours and explore the archaeological area of Pumawanka, ride out into the salt mines, or tour the local neighborhood. The resort also offers several activities for little ones, including table tennis and sapo, a traditional coin-toss game. There are complimentary alfresco art classes, yoga, and the Mayu Willka spa, which offers a variety of soothing treatments using locally sourced products. Or perhaps you will choose to pass the day feeding and petting the hotel’s adorable baby alpacas.
