Sol & Luna is located 1 km from the town of Urubamba in the Sacred Valley of
the Incas, a perfect place to start your visit to Peru. The Valley is a prime
cultural and adventure destination in South America.
It is home to a number of important Inca ruins including Pisac, Ollantaytambo,
Maras and Moray and a convenient departure point for the fabled Machu Picchu,
with trains leaving daily from nearby Urubamba and Ollantaytambo stations.
The Valley is at a lower elevation than Cusco, about an hour away by car, which
makes for a gentler acclimatization to the altitude. The Valley has a mild
climate within a dramatic setting of mountains, valleys and meadows, well-suited
for outdoor activities such as horseback riding with Peruvian Paso Horses,
mountain biking, rafting, paragliding, walking and trekking. All activities are
offered by Sol & Luna´s Activity Center - Viento Sur.
Our hotel is enclosed in a red-walled courtyard surrounded by tall eucalyptus
trees and green mountains. We have 28 Bungalows: 23 doubles, 3 family bungalows
and 2 suites.
We also have a full-size, hard surface outdoor tennis court, where you can play
under the Andean sun. Our pool faces the restaurant and is surrounded by cypress
trees and comfortable deck chairs, a perfect place to relax after a game of
tennis, after sampling treats from the Restaurant or after a luxurious treatment
in our Spa. Our Shop offers special souvenirs from the Sacred Valley, including
local handmade arts and crafts and postcards.

culinary adventures such as Textile Demonstrations, Live Music, Cooking
Demonstrations, Pizza Nights, Pachamanca, Barbecue, and Theater Presentations.
