Explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas at Explora Valle Sagrado
In South America, along the ranges of the old Andes Mountains, close to the center of the nation of Peru, lies the ancient capital of the Incan Empire, the City of Cuzco. If you head northwest on the rugged mountain roads, about ten miles into the heart of the Urumbamba District you will reach the town of Huayllabamba, and if you ask the residents there to point you towards the Hatun Luychu mountain, they will show you the road that leads east, to the Valle Sagrado, the Sacred Valley of the Incas. There you will find a truly luxurious outpost of modern civilization in the rugged countryside of the Andes foothill, the Explora Valle Sagrado. The Incan emperors declared the grains of this valley to be the best in the empire and took special care to protect it. Today, a farming hamlet stretches along the road that leads to the Hatun Luychu, and the lavish furnishing of the Explora hotel and resort welcome adventurous travellers who enjoy bespoken comforts in rough-hewn places.
The Explora Valle Sagrado is designed to match the surrounding cornfields of the nearby village, Urquillos. It presents a choice of forty-four luxurious rooms and six deluxe suites to its clients, each of them looking out over the mountains that loom above the Valley. In order to bring guests closer to the life of the village, the rooms go without Wi-Fi and telephones and attempt to lure travellers into the rhythms of the farmers near them. The weather in Urquillos is always temperate. The hotel will offer coaching to help its guests deal with high the altitude they will encounter during their stay here, and prepare them for upcoming bespoken explorations of Incan ruins.
