Hotel Sol y Luna is right in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, surrounded by the stunning mountains and traditional small farms of the valley.
The hotel's grounds provide a relaxing and atmospheric area through which you can wander and rooms are individually set within these grounds, surrounded by tall eucalyptus trees and the landscaped gardens that are a riot of colour all year round and attract 35 bird species.
The hotel has its own stables located within the property next door, and the gardens and stables offer an authentic feel as well as a unique experience within rural Peru.
Our favourite property in the area, offering great accommodation and a wonderful place to rest for the night. For those wanting to stay a little longer, the location is perfect in the tranquillity of the valley but with traditional towns a short taxi ride away. The range of activities available and picturesque surroundings means the hotel has the perfect balance between relaxation and exploration, and a wonderful base for your time in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
