Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica is located in a lush private Amazon nature reserve right on the banks of the Madre de Dios river and adjacent to the Tambopata National Reserve.

Set among beautiful gardens in the magnificent location of the Sacred Valley, Sol y Luna is a charming and comfortable hotel with wonderfully relaxing amenities. Your bungalow, or ‘casita’, is designed with Andean touches and stylish interiors and boasts gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape. Spend your days exploring the Sacred Valley of the Incas where you can partake in exciting activities such as horse riding, bird watching and para-gliding. Back at Sol y Luna the indulgent spa, sauna and pool is a peaceful place for you to unwind, while the dining consists of a number of Relais & Chateaux member restaurants: Killa Wasi, where Peruvian and European cuisine is served and Wayra, a separate restaurant set in the hotel’s Wayra ranch where Andean cuisine pays homage to the wealth of natural ingredients cultivated in the Sacred Valley since the time of the Incas. There is also a bar, Chicha Wasi, where you can enjoy authentic pisco sours. The hotel is also recognised for its community initiatives, particularly in education. After 10 years of working with different schools and programs, Sol y Luna opened the Sol y Luna Intercultural School, providing educational services to a number of local students. The hotel recently started another initiative, Sol y Luna Home, which provides a safe home for children without a family or who are victims of violence.

Tucked away in one of the Sacred Valley’s most secluded haciendas, next to the tiny village of Urquillos and close to many of the area’s most important Inca settlements, Explora Sacred Valley is the wonderful hub from which to explore this incredible region of Peru.

Dating back to 1540, this cream-hued boutique accommodation, built partly from volcanic rock, features carefully preserved arches and columns. Circling courtyards, dotted with greenery and including expansive windows, the structure is designed to merge the inside world with the outside environment. The 11 light-flooded rooms, with high-vaulted ceilings, look out across two patios and are individually decorated. Light tones and simple, soft furnishings add warmth to the stone-lined spaces and place emphasis on the original architecture. Complimentary snacks and beverages are sure to enhance your stay, along with modern amenities, such as a Smart HDTV, with Netflix and a wireless speaker. Guests can dabble in the in-room dining option, or take to the on-site restaurant, with a salon and sprawling terrace, to sample Arequipenean gastronomy, focused around fresh ingredients. On the rooftop, another eatery, positioned next to an organic garden, can be found, allowing you to indulge in an array of regional dishes, paired with dreamy vistas of the city and nearby volcanoes. A heated plunge pool set on one of the patios and a therapy spa room call for idyllic moments of relaxation. For those who want to explore Arequipa and its natural surroundings, a variety of excursions can be arranged.
