Immerse yourself in Andean comfort by the rushing riverside

At our verdant haven, be soothed and enchanted as lush gardens by the relaxing Urubamba River harmonize with Andean wellness rituals. We source local produce from the Sacred Valley to curate distinct dining rich in superfoods and Inca flavors, and come nightfall we sit under the most beautiful starry sky in the area. Authenticity is key at Rio Sagrado, where you can participate in traditional activities from open-fire ‘pachamanca’ cooking to blessing ceremonies to Mother earth. Slow down, breathe deep, and feel the spirit of the Andes come alive in full, flowing force.
