The Sacred Valley


For a stint of serious relaxation, stay at this retreat with a meditation and alternative therapies room. Replete with dogs lounging on their pillows, the hotel has large rustic-modern rooms and a social area overlooking the garden. As green as its name, it features solar panels, composting and recycling, uses recycled river water for gardening and offers guests water refills.

A three-course dinner (S85) is available by reservation. To get here, you can grab a bus between Pisac and Urubamba or a taxi (S20) from Urubamba.
