About Tierra Viva Valle Sagrado Urubamba
Tierra Viva Valle Sagrado Urubamba sits in Yanahuara, a rural stretch of the Sacred Valley several kilometers outside Urubamba town. The hotel has 36 rooms and garden areas, in a quiet setting rather than a busy street. Rooms are heated and have a private balcony or terrace, and double rooms come with one king bed or two twins. Some family rooms sleep up to four, which helps parents traveling with children.
Meals happen at SUNO, the hotel's restaurant and bar: a buffet at breakfast and lunch, and a more varied menu at dinner. A separate lobby bar pours from 12:00 pm to 9:30 pm. The spa, open from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm, has a jacuzzi, a sauna and a massage area. There is no swimming pool. A hot drinks station runs around the clock, handy after a long day of touring.
Ollantaytambo is close, and that is where Machu Picchu trains leave, so a day trip to the citadel and back to the same bed is realistic. Cusco is about an hour and a half by road, and the hotel offers airport pickup for an extra charge. At roughly 2,900 m, the valley sits about 400 m lower than Cusco, which makes for a gentler first night at altitude. Parking is free.
Perfect if you are
- Acclimatising to altitude
- Families
- First trip to Peru
Good to know
- The hotel is on a rural stretch of the valley road, about 7.7 km from Urubamba's center, so plan on a taxi or car for dinners in town.
- SUNO is the only restaurant on site, so longer stays may need an evening out in Urubamba.
- The team can arrange oxygen for guests who need it at altitude.
