High in the Peruvian Andes, a verdant valley cuts a pathway between Cusco and Machu Picchu. This is the Sacred Valley of the Inca, once the heartland of the Inca Empire, and still shrouded in the mysteries of their great civilization. Perched on a slope overlooking the valley floor, Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba reflects the region’s Andean and Spanish-colonial influences, capturing the essence of a destination with many cultural layers. Guests are often first struck by the lodge’s spectacular vistas, but once you start exploring the slopes, it becomes apparent that this is much more than a mountain hideaway. Each excursion provides cultural insights into the storied Sacred Valley—opportunities to uncover the secrets of the Inca and the vibrant traditions of their descendants.
