Rio Sagrado
Deep in Peru's Sacred Valley, Rio Sagrado offers a calm retreat on the banks of the rushing Urubamba River. Radiating Andean charm and built from natural materials, Rio Sagrado is filled with bright textiles and soft alpaca wools. Lush gardens are threaded with streams whilst tiny hummingbirds hover jewel-like blooms.
Designed like a tranquil Andean village, 21 rooms and 2 villas are set on raised terraces, each with expansive windows overlooking the river. Rio Sagrado is a place to take your time and enjoy the Sacred Valley’s natural beauty, whether from the heated pool or simply reclining in a hammock. For the ultimate in relaxation, Mayu Willka Spa, a beautiful wood, stone and glass complex, offers rejuvenating rituals and private holistic fitness sessions blend jogging, yoga and meditation.
At El Huerto, fine Peruvian-fusion cuisine is served where specialities include local trout, Andean grains and vegetables from the valley. Down by the river, El Jardin delivers herbs and vegetables from the organic bio-garden at sun-dappled tables, whilst, on the lawns, their traditional signature Garden BBQ is not to be missed. Every evening, pisco tastings are staged in the bar, an opportunity to take some tips on pisco making back home!
Families can enjoy feeding the hotel’s baby alpacas or relaxing under the stars on movie nights. Activities to explore the Sacred Valley range from horse riding treks to white-water rafting. Spiritual ceremonies with an Andean shaman give thanks to Mother Earth. At a lower altitude than Cusco, Rio Sagrado offers the perfect place to acclimatise to an Andean adventure.
