Found in the “Sacred Valley” of Urubamba, deep in the Cusco Region of Peru, and flanked by stalwart mountain peaks, Hotel Rio Sagrado is a South American jewel.
Reachable via Anta Airport, which is 39 minutes away by car, or from Cusco, an hour away, Hotel Rio Sagrado is part of Orient-Express. The Incans have given the place its name, “The Sacred Valley”, which, in their language, translates into Urubamba. Close to the famous Machu Picchu, guests will be finding this place quite pleasurable, after strolling through the local tourist attractions.
One the edge of a superbly flowing river, Hotel Rio Sagrado provides superbly appointed accommodation units, overlooking the bucolic green pastures and the river, in the form of suites, villas and separate rooms. They’re nicely endowed with heated wooden floors, crisp Peruvian cotton sheets and panoramic views. There’s also El Huerto Restaurant, where guests may enjoy tasty Peruvian cuisine cooked with local ingredients and delicious spices. Your tummy needs to be full, of course, before heading to the Inca Trail, Machu Picchu or practicing river rafting.
The last minute touch is a stunning spa, where extracts from local herbs help guests in getting rid of all the stress they’ve been accumulating until their arrival. Nightly rates start at $185.
