Description

The Hotel Sol y Luna is oriented towards travelers who are committed to living side by side and in harmony with nature. The owners of the hotel are involved with various conservation projects, as well as contributing towards social development in the region. For example, many of the staff employed here is recruited from local communities, while local materials have been used to build the property, namely adobe bricks, logs and stones.  The company prides itself on respecting their locality and living in harmony with the local culture of the Sacred Valley.

The location of Hotel Sol y Luna is ideal for sightseeing around the valley and for enjoying the crisp and pleasant weather of the Andes region, accentuated by a marvelous collection of flowers in the garden. The hotel is enclosed in a red-walled courtyard surrounded by tall eucalyptus trees and green, lush mountains. Despite its ideal location, Hotel Sol y Luna also has excellent services that will add to your comfort during your stay. A well-equipped spa and salon provides ample services to ensure that the well being of guests is optimized, the gift shop offers both the work of renowned artists and anonymous artists throughout the country, and the restaurant serves exquisite local dishes.

The in-house restaurant Killa Wasi (House of the Moon) and adjoining bar Chicha Wasi (the House of Chicha, an ancient Andean drink brewed from corn), are perfect places to soak in the atmosphere of the surrounding mountains.  Every dish and drink on the menu uses fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown in local organic gardens. Menus are seasonal to ensure optimum freshness and flavor, and chefs Nacho Selis and Pedro Miguel Schiaffino pride themselves on having a high attention to detail, and are dedicated to ensuring that every dish is a work of art.
