Culture & History

Located in the stunning Sacred Valley, Sol y Luna is a fantastic place to be based for a gateway to Machu Picchu, the beautiful bucket-list ancient Incan city. The immediate area is teeming with culture, and Sol y Luna offers unique experiences to help guests be fully immersed in the rich diversity of the area. See the daily Peruvian Paso Horse Show demonstration or watch the local women show off ancestral techniques on their looms as they create traditional Andean weaving. There is also a pottery workshop where guests can craft their own take-home piece of Peru and theatre presentations bringing to life the area’s heritage on the Wayra terrace.

Lakes & Mountains

The stunning landscape of Andean terraces, mountain pathways and snowcapped peaks offer ample opportunity for adventure. There is plenty to discover, whether you wish to mountain bike through the ancient ruins of Pisaq, following the Urubamba River to local farms and markets, or head to Ollantaytambo, which has been inhabited ever since Incan times. Alternatively, ride on the back of a native Paso horse across the rural village paths, or kayak across the calm waters of Huaypo Lake, to further be amazed at the natural beauty of the region.

Spa Breaks

Small, intimate and serene, Yacu Wasi spa is wrapped in an artful stained glass setting. Meaning ‘house of water’ in the Quenchua language, treatments are inspired by native healing rituals and incorporate locally grown organic herbs. Along with three candle-lit treatment rooms, complemented by aromatherapy and essential oils, the herbal sauna and steam room offer sumptuous relaxation space, while complimentary yoga held outdoors in the morning sun will prepare you for a day of discovery.

Dining & Gourmet

Exploring the exceptional cuisine of the area is an adventure in itself. Join the chef for a visit to the farms and markets that provide the backbone of Peruvian cuisine. To learn more, take an interactive cooking class in the Wayra kitchen with the hotel’s experienced chefs, and discover how the food has been passed down in generations since the Inca Empire. In the evening, reserve a seat at the Chef’s Table for a three-course culinary adventure of flavour, or arrange a visit to the Wine Cellar to savour a bespoke menu of seasonal cuisine paired with Old and New World wines by the sommelier.

Gateway to Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu (meaning ‘Old Mountain’ in Quechua) is positioned above the Urubamba River, giving sensational views of the valley below. Being one of the Seven Wonders of the World, it is the main attraction for many people visiting Cuzco, with stone carved with impeccable precision to create many structures, from phenomenal temples to stone staircases. The 43-kilometre-long Inca Trail leads to Machu Picchu, and is Peru’s busiest trekking route, with hikers walking along the stone paved trail to reach the mountain, which is positioned far into the cloud forest.

Gateway to Machu Picchu
History

Having previously been the capital of the Inca Empire (1438-1533), Cuzco is full of astonishing history, including one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu. Situated in the countryside, north west of the city, it had been a secret for hundreds of years, prior to Hiram Bingham’s rediscovery of the site. Río Urubamba Valley, otherwise known as Sacred Valley, encompasses 100 kilometres of land and is full of breathtaking Inca ruins.

History
Luxury Train Travel

Belmond has two incredible trains that travel through Cuzco. Belmond Hiram Bingham takes passengers from Cuzco to Machu Picchu in around three-and-a-half hours, allowing passengers to indulge in an incredible three-course meal en route. The second of Belmond’s trains is the superb Belmond Andean Explorer, offering a service from Cuzco to Puno (taking one day and night) or Arequipa from Cuzco (taking two days and two nights). The stunning sleeper train boast stylish cabins that allow passengers to relax, and there’s even an on-board spa for further indulgence.

Museums

Cuzco is perfect for visitors who have a passion for artefacts and artwork and wish to understand more about the history of the city, as the city boasts many museums. Museo de Arte Precolombino is full of archaeological artefacts, along with pre-Columbian artworks, some of which that have been taken from its parent museum in Lima. Planetarium Cuzco, located just 15 minutes away from downtown Cuzco, offers an ideal vantage point from which to see the stars and planets of the southern skies.

Museums
Architecture

Since Cuzco was the capital of the Inca Empire until the Spanish conquest in the 16th century, its importance to modern Peru was signified by the city being declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city shows off the Inca architecture in all its glory and was created to show the shape of a Puma lying down (the animal was worshipped by the Inca people). The buildings in the city have a unique appearance; created with large stones cemented with amalgam.

Architecture
Cuisine

Cuzco offers many dining options, including a multitude of fine dining restaurants across the city, making it perfect for couples or groups looking for a delightful meal in the city. Otherwise, the city offers a large number of restaurants devoted to local and Peruvian cuisine, including Ceviche, Peru’s national dish. If you’re looking to grab a quick bite to eat or to take a break from sightseeing for a drink, the endless amounts of cafés and restaurants peppering the inner city are perfect for visitors.
