With a rustic chic design inspired by traditional Andean architecture, Mayu Spa features relaxing views of the surroundings as it is found on a foothill in-between Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba’s organic orchard and an enchanting peppertree forest.
With treatments based in 100% natural products derived from native medicinal herbs, the new wellness center has a pool, four private therapy rooms and a dry sauna – a spiritual and soothing experience amid the Sacred Valley’s evergreen mountains and harvest fields.

BIRD OF THE MONTH:
WHITE-THROATED TOUCAN
Distributed in tropical areas of Central and South America, toucans are appealing birds from the Ramphastidae family. Their characteristic long bill is an extention of its body, which lets them reach tree cavities, nests or other places in search of food. The White-throated toucan (Ramphastos tucanus) is a regular-sized bird, with a body length 19.5 to 24 inches. Its loud call can be heard from a long distance, and it is easy to find it perched at the canopy level of the Amazon rainforest such as Inkaterra grounds in Madre de Dios.

INKATERRA HACIENDA URUBAMBA’S GASTRONOMIC APPROACH
Explorers Rebecca Wolff and Alec Jacobson visited Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba to venture into the main attractions at the National Geographic Unique Lodge – from a sunset hike to chicha de jora making. “We joined Inkaterra’s head chef, Rafael Casin, in the fields. Casin is a native of Peru but trained in Europe,” writes Jacobson about the Earth to Table experience. ““The extensive, manicured grounds create a landscape of natural tranquility, but the plants are not just decorative—acres of land are cultivated using traditional, organic methods to provide produce for the Hacienda’s restaurant.”
