In celebration of our 40th anniversary this year, we have created a ‘Ruby Package’ itinerary which showcases forty celebrated activities, across four of our properties, including: Inkaterra Reserva Amazónica, Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba and Inkaterra La Casona.
The nine-day adventure will take you from the heart of the Amazon rainforest, to the majestic Machu Picchu, from the rolling hills of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, to the cobbled streets of Cusco.
The journey begins at Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica, and here you can meander through winding jungle trails, discovering the flora and fauna, scents and solitude of the Amazon Rainforest.
After a treetop adventure on the 344m-long Canopy Walkway, 29 meters high above the jungle floor, you can kick back and relax in a flowering bath; bubbling water enriched with medicinal herbs, flowers and aromatic essences. A boat ride to Lake Sandoval will have you rubbing shoulders with the resident river otters, howler monkeys and side-neck turtles.
Upon arriving at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, you will be ensconced into the nocturnal secrets of the flora and fauna after dark, with a twilight walk. After marvelling at the Machu Picchu ancient citadel, tired feet are treated to an indulgent foot therapy treatment, before a purification session in the Andean Sauna, using stones heated in a Cloud Forest Hut.
Your journey continues to the Sacred Valley of the Incas for a two-night stay at Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba. Here our knowledgeable bilingual explorer-guides will take you on a historic journey, from Chinchero (Inca-Colonial village) to Maras (Inca pink salt mine) and Moray (Inca circular terraces), bird watching in the lush hills of the valley, to an enchanting twilightwalk. A tour of our ecological farm will give you a detailed understanding of Inkaterra’s longstanding eco-commitments.
Next stop is our totally restored XVIth. Century colonial manor in the heart of Cusco, Inkaterra La Casona, the first Relais & Châteaux property in Peru. Here you can browse the stalls scattered across Cusco’s cobbled streets, brimming with street food, alpaca wool and a rainbow of indigenous textiles
After strolling through the bohemian San Blas district, you are treated to a relaxing Andean Hot Stones Massage at our Yacu Therapy Room, whereby stones from the river are bathed in warm water and anointed in fragranced oils, before being placed on the energy points of the body.
