You’ll stay in a luxury lodge and enjoy daily explorations into the flooded forests and waterways and nature walks that will bring you close to cheeky monkeys and colourful tropical birds.

Explore the misty mountains with an expert private guide who will make the ruins come alive, then enjoy a morning to explore by yourself and soak up the atmosphere of this very special place. The final stop on your epic adventure is Cusco, a colonial city whose cobbled streets are lined with beautiful buildings.

Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica is located in an exuberant private Amazon nature reserve right on the banks of the Madre de Dios river and adjacent to the Tambopata National Reserve. What’s more this eco-lodge’s thirty five cabanas are made of local materials whilst still incorporating contemporary amenities and standards that belies its remoteness.
The reserve has several nature trails and a first class spa on the grounds. The restaurant uses only fresh and local ingredients for all meals.
Relax during the day on the second floor lounge, or have a cocktail that evening at the bar. The hotel’s excursions include hikes, canoeing, visits to local villages, and a thrilling walk through their treetop canopy bridge.
- 6 twin rooms
- 19 cabanas
- Restaurant

- Eco Centre
The new more casual sister lodge to Reserva Inkaterra, Hacienda Concepción is more easily accessible and with the same values placed on sustainability, service and authenticity as its sibling.
A plantation house from the 1950s, constructed in the typical Amazonian Hacienda style surrounded by 819 hectares of rainforest and on the grounds of what used to be a cacao and rubber plantation, this lodge also used to be an ecological research centre, which speaks for both its location and profound biological knowledge of the region.
With an emphasis on your Amazonian experience, its 6 rooms and 19 cabanas are quite open to the exotic environment around you but are impressively clean, simple and comfortable. The cabanas are the same level of luxury as those of its sister, the Reserva Inkaterra.
Next to a natural oxbow lake, the lodge acts as a buffer zone between the Tambopata National Reserve and the shores of the vast Madre de Dios River, so your daily river or land expeditions to explore the rainforest pretty much begin from the threshold of your room.
Three days exploring the southern Peruvian Amazon
The Amazon is one of the world's most incredible ecosystems and discovering this dense rainforest filled with a spectacular array of animal and plant life is a real highlight of any trip to South America. Day-to-day activities depend on your lodgings, but most include daily explorations of the flooded forests, waterways, rivers and nature trails through the national reserve encountering all the abundant wildlife and birdlife in between.

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.

Occupying a secluded corner of the Sacred Valley, this remarkable luxury property is the seldom-used private country estate of a wealthy Peruvian family. Casa Puyuncuy is only offered to guests on a very exclusive basis and is the perfect solution for the discerning traveler looking for tranquility in the midst of the often busy Sacred Valley and bustling Cusco.
This luxury hideaway enjoys the most spectacular of settings: the main dining room is perched on a small cliff with views of the mountains. A magnificent main living room, decorated with valuable archaeological pieces and exuding the warmth of a central impressive fireplace, is also at your disposal. Three suite-style bungalows, each with a charming wooden stove and outstanding views, provide a total of five rooms which can accommodate up to 10 guests.
Outside in five acres of beautiful, flower-filled gardens, you’ll find a wooden doll house that will enchant children and the estate’s orchard which, along with local produce from the Mollepata market, supplies much of the ingredients for the house’s home-made Peruvian and international dishes.
A key feature of this haven is that it’s found at the same altitude as the Sacred Valley, providing guests with an easier acclimatization process that those coming from Cusco, and a great start or end to a journey to Machupicchu.

- Private villas for families and groups of friends
This is without doubt one of the most comfortable and luxurious places to stay in the Sacred Valley. Set in a beautiful spot by the Urubamba river the hotel is close to the Incan fortress of Ollantaytambo. The construction and design of the 22 rooms is in keeping with the rustic surrounds of this historic location with extensive use of natural materials, yet never compromising on luxury.
The hotel has a good restaurant and a high quality 230 square metre spa in which to relax after a day exploring the area. There are also two very spacious and well-appointed villas suitable for families or groups of friends travelling together.
Three days exploring the Sacred Valley
Spend your time relaxing and exploring the incredible scenery of the Sacred Valley. It's a great place to experience the culture of Peru and the landscape is breathtaking.
Ollantaytambo
Visit the Inca fortress town of Ollantaytambo. The site was built just as the Spaniards arrived and is one of the most important if not visible vestiges of how the Incas inhabited and functioned in their cities making it a fascinating place to explore. There is a fortress at the top of the hill (and quite a few steps) which is particularly interesting to investigate for the techniques the Incas used in its construction.
Maras and Moray
Your guide will bring you to the fascinating (and beautiful) sites of Maras and Moray. Maras is an open system of terraces that has been used for centuries to harvest salt from a stream of mineral rich water that comes from within the mountain. Moray is an ancient system of Inca terraces which they used to acclimatise new plants to the high altitude environment.
Visit to the Patacancha Community
Enjoy a visit to the Patacancha community, immersing yourself in interactions with locals and gaining insights into their way of life. Countless villages in the valley have upheld the customs and heritage of their predecessors, tracing their lineage back to the time of the Incas. These traditions encompass everything from agricultural methods, dietary habits, and weaving traditions to language and traditional attire. To conclude this enriching experience, a delicious lunch awaits you at a local restaurant.
