The beautiful hotel of Sol y Luna is located just half a mile from the town of Urubamba in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It provides a perfect base to explore the valley, and because it is a few hundred metres lower than Cusco allows a more gradual acclimatisation to the altitude.
Built from local materials, Sol y Luna's 28 bungalows are made up of 23 doubles, 3 family bungalows and 2 suites, all set within a colourful garden. All bungalows are ensuite and have king-size beds and private verandas. The family bungalows are two-floor bungalows with a king-size bed on the ground floor and two double beds on the second floor. Suites are two-floor bungalows with a king-size bed on the ground floor and a living room on the second floor. They also have TVs and DVD players. The Killa Wasi Restaurant features Novo Andino cuisine, a distinctive blend of Andean, coastal and international flavours. Chef's specialities include sautéed slices of Alpaca in a coconut curry, and shrimp-stuffed trout. The Chicha Wasi pub above the restaurant features a full international bar.
Additional hotel facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, gift shop and Yacu Wasi spa. The spa contains a fully-equipped gym, sauna, steamroom, jacuzzi, and Spanish bath. A wide selection of spa therapies are offered including facials, wraps and masks, along with newer treatments such as music therapy, and energy therapies such as Reiki. Massages include traditional Swedish massage, shiatsu, aromatherapy and reflexology massages. Classes or personal sessions in yoga and tai chi are also available.
Most visitors spend 2 or 3 nights at Sol y Luna and visit Ollantaytambo Inca town and ruins, and Pisac market. However, for those wanting to spend longer at the hotel, a range of activities are offered including horse riding, trekking, rafting and mountain biking.
