Colca Canyon, Peru
Puqio
Enjoy a tented experience of Andean life
Nestled deep within the Colca Valley, PUQIO is set in a landscape where volcanoes, expansive grasslands, and undiscovered pathways await daily exploration. Each room is inspired by the original canvas tents of first Andean explorers, whilst earthen adobe rooms blend harmoniously into the surrounding high desert landscape. Outdoor showers and cold plunges will rejuvenate your tired muscles, whilst writing desks provide an outlet for when creativity strikes.
Indulge in the essence of Andean flavours and traditions with a clay oven and open flame meals as you enjoy family-style meals crafted using traditional methods and the freshest local produce. Here, corn is harvested by local hands and freshly baked bread is kneaded with a knowing touch.
During your stay you can also enjoy the soothing water of your own private hot tub and take part in guided excursions that are bookended by personal reflection. These experiences include high altitude trekking, delving into ancient plant wisdom with a natural herbalist, soaking in the thermal baths of Uyo Uyo, and visiting some of the best textile weavers in the Andes.

Places to combine Puqio with
Sacred Valley
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.
