CULTURE
Long known as the gateway to Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley is actually home to a rich diversity of cultural offerings, beginning with Sol y Luna artisans. Elsewhere in the Valley, the last ‘living’ Inca civilization endures and testify to the nurturing relationship between man and land here in Sacred Valley since ancient times.

- PERUVIAN PASO HORSE SHOW
Sol y Luna hosts a daily show demonstrating the elegance of their lilting and gentle gait to the rhythm of the Marinera, an Peruvian dance emblematic of Spanish Criollo traditions.

- TRADITIONAL ANDEAN WEAVING
Sol y Luna invites a group of talented local women to demonstrate textile production, from the untangling of the natural wool fibers, to spinning and coloring with natural dyes made of flowers, roots and herbs according to ancestral techniques and preparation of the loom.

- POTTERY WORKSHOP
Those who attend this interactive workshop will be able to take part with the artisans in the different stages of pottery-making and can take away the piece they will have produced together with the memories of this pleasant experience.

- THEATER PRESENTATION
In the relaxed coziness of the Wayra terrace, Sacred Valley’s Cusi Wasi theater company brings to life the myths, ritual and legends of Andean civilization.


GASTRONOMY
To connect the hotel's guests through all the senses to the exceptional flavors of the Sacred Valley, Chef Nacho and his culinary team lead in-depth, palate led adventures into this fertile landscape and among friends, the traditional Andean farmers growing naturally organic produce in ways little changed since the Inca Empire.

- ORGANIC GARDEN TOUR
This pleasant, relaxed outing with the Chef to a nearby farm and the local market leads into the heart of Peruvian cuisine.

- COOKING CLASS
A fully interactive session held in the Wayra kitchen, this is a hands-on opportunity to work side by side with the Sol y Luna chefs.

- TASTE OF PERU
Take your turn with the carving knife or simply continue sipping as the instruction moves on to indigenous appetizers like ceviche, duo de ocopas and quinoa soup, followed by a classic Andean lomo saltado.

- PIZZA NIGHT
The hand-painted, wood-burning ovens are turned on the outdoor terrace over to guests, who don chef hats and aprons, to knead the dough and prepare pizzas under the guidance of the chef. The plentiful selection of fresh toppings, carnivore and vegetarian alike, ensure each pizza is an utterly customized glutton’s delight.

- PACHAMANCA
For the Incas, this rustic yet highly symbolic dining ritual named for the Quechua words pacha “earth” and manka “pot” represented a celebration of the cycle of life. Digging an earthen oven and cooking food underground pays homage to Pachamama, the Incan fertility goddess. Surrounded by the glorious Andes Mountains and Sol y Luna’s thriving gardens, this quintessentially Andean banquet is recreated, at lunch or dinner, for up to 8 people. Like Incan ancestors, they return food -- lamb, alpaca, pork, chicken and guinea pig along with sweet potatoes, potatoes, green beans, plantains, stuffed peppers, tamales and choclo white corn of the Sacred Valley -- to Mother Earth’s belly before they eat it is as sign of respect.

BOUTIQUE
Kunata Wasi exhibits Sacred Valley’s finest and most sophisticated folk art, typically the work of anonymous hands expressing the lives of the Andean people. Original works by the hotel's favorite contemporary Peruvian artists such as Federico Bauer, Jaime Liebana and ceramicist Marilyn Denemostier, taking inspiration from Andean popular culture are also on display.


GARDENS
Hummingbirds and butterflies flutter among our 25 acres of private gardens abundant with indigenous flowers and native bird species.

Contemporary interpretations of Sacred Valley’s rustic culinary traditions and refined Cusqueña cuisine incorporate the produce of the organic farming neighbors as well as the chef’s discoveries in the Peruvian jungles and along the Amazon.
Within the gently rounded, rose hued walls of the ‘House of the Moon,’ along with serving a buffet breakfast and relaxed vegan lunch, it offers an exceptionally refined evening experience. Guests dine formally and in luxurious comfort around a traditional Peruvian hearth.

Sophisticated dishes express the rich agrarian history of the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the creativity of contemtorary Peruvian cuisine. Harvest driven, seasonal recipes feature Andean trout, and grass fed beef as well as the less expected, like alpaca (tastes like lamb, we promise) and the signature crispy guinea pig with Maras salt potatoes and uchucuta salsa, a very local delicacy that guests find surprisingly delicious.

BAR
Ascend the spiral staircase for pisco sours at sundown or a spirited nightcap among the property's musician ‘friends,’ created by the talented hands of Peruvian artisans.

Housed within Sol y Luna’s Wayra ranch and open to the public, this relaxed day into evening eatery was built for three simple purposes: to eat, to drink and to love. Fantastic murals and sculptures by Federico, the artist often in residence, finish these high, vaulted spaces made homey with local terra cotta tiles and stonework, hand-painted artisanal woodcarvings by Peruvian master Jaime Lievana and commanding wood burning fireplaces in both the Dining Room and Lounge, where four nights each week world class circus performers put on a spectacle of awe-inspiring acrobatics as a prelude to Chef Nacho Selis’ Andean cuisine honoring the wealth of naturally organic ingredients first harvested here in the bountiful Sacred Valley by the ancient Incas.

Like its namesake, the Quechua word meaning ‘wind,’ Wayra offers seasonal dishes that cannot quite be contained by a single cooking style. At breakfast, lunch and dinner, Chef Nacho’s dishes honor the Andean ingredients grown by local farmers whom the hotel's staff know personally and highlight the rich, varied flavours of the Sacred Valley by cooking with traditional wood burning ovens.

WINE CELLAR
Peruvian haute cuisine meets Old and New World wines in a singular wine cellar. Spanish red walls surround the antique dining table for up to fourteen, set with hand-embroidered linens, custom china, formal silverware and an array of roses from the surrounding gardens. After horseback riding, exploring Machu Picchu or relaxing by the pool, an evening in this subterranean sanctuary ends the day on the most sophisticated epicurean note, with a bespoke menu of seasonal dishes prepared by Executive Chef Nacho Selis and paired with wines curated by the in-house Sommelier.

CHEF’S TABLE
Bienvenidos to Chef Nacho’s kitchen, where he leads up to ten guests on this three-course culinary adventure among the aromas, flavors, colors and tastes of Peru, accompanied by Pisco Sours. As you experience the Sacred Valley through your taste buds, learn about the produce of this fertile basin that has been the region’s breadbasket since the time of the Incas who built the agrarian terraces, called andenes in the Quechua language. These still grown natural ingredients at your table may include white and red corn, quinoa and around 4,000 types of potatoes.

LOUNGE
An artful gathering place for pisco sours and live performances.

TERRACE
Convivial dining in the fresh Andean air, accompanied by Peruvian Paso horse riding demonstrations and Marinera dancers.

Quechua for ‘house of water,’ the intimate spa wrapped in artful stained glass and local stone offers holistic relaxation between invigorating adventures around the Sacred Valley and excursions to Machu Picchu. Native healing meets modern pampering as internationally trained therapists deliver rejuvenating massage, facial and hydrotherapy treatments incorporating organic, locally grown Andean plants and herbs.

In three private, candlelit treatment rooms, Yacu Wasi spa offers a wide range of treatments complemented by aromatherapy and essential oils, and includes the use of the herbal sauna and steam room.

The aromatic Andean herbal infused sauna located in the spa and the newly built cardio and free weights equipped gym adjacent to the swimming pool offer two distinct ways to unwind. Both feel priceless yet are each complimentary for all Sol y Luna guests.

For those guests who like to rise with the sun that was so sacred to the ancient Incas, Sol Y Luna offers Upon Request, classes to all its guests and held outdoors in the fresh Andean air.
