Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba

Tucked amidst a sea of green mountain walls, lined with trees that sway with the wind’s breeze, sits Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba. From a panoramic view, this contemporary hotel with colonial inspiration appears somewhat small in comparison to the majestic mountains that tower over the hacienda.

Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba tells a different part of the Inca story: one of life in the empire’s heartland. Built as a traditional Peruvian casa hacienda, guests are invited to soak up the culture and spiritual environment of the sacred Urubamba valley – one of the many reasons the National Geographic Society has welcomed the magnificent hacienda to its unique lodges of the world portfolio.

The property surrounds a farmland, that is home to an organic plantation. Guests can immerse themselves in the local farming community by picking their own produce from quinoa and artichokes to the Urubamba giant corn as part of the “pachamama“ (Earth to Plate) concept.

Inkaterra La Casona

Although surrounded by the energetic, vibrant city of Cusco, Inkaterra La Casona provides an enchanting, tranquil retreat. A place of luxury in the form of a colonial Peruvian manor, exuding authenticity and heritage. Step through the intricately carved emerald door, a portal of the past, and experience why Inkaterra La Casona was chosen as one of National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World.

This exclusive manor, exquisitely restored by Inkaterra, sits on land that once played home to the elite army of the Incas. It was also home to don Diego de Almagro in the 16th century, the Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru. Later, in 1554, the house was the residence to Don Juan Alvarez de Maldonado, the conqueror of the Amazon jungle.

Some pretty well known figures have walked the corridors of this manor, but perhaps none as prestigious as Simon Bolivar, known as ‘El Libertador’ after his part in the liberation of South America from Spain. Those who sleep within the stone walls, beneath the exposed beams, gain a deeper understanding of the city’s cultural heritage, as well as an immersion in both the illustrious history and vibrant present-day culture. Its no wonder that Inkaterra La Casona is now part of National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World.

Uniquely, the  doors of Inkaterra La Casona are closed to members of the public, offering guests that exclusive,  home-away-from-home feel.

Inkaterra La Casona offers experiences with the same tranquillity and relaxation once offered to illustrious travellers who visited in years gone by. As empires have fallen and powers have shifted, Inkaterra La Casona has remained a prominent fixture in Cusco.
