Inkalla Valle Sagrado
Deciding to stay in “The Sacred Valley” on my trip to visit Machu Picchu was one of the best decisions I made on this trip. With a small population, there were no name brand hotels to choose from, so I took a chance on INKALLA VALLE SAGRADO. I chose this location primary because it had positive customer reviews and it was within my budget. This hotel is much more like a villa, with multiple building holding 3-4 units, totally approx. 36 units in total. The faculty was built 7 years ago using local materials and local labor. The grounds are covered in beautiful flowers, running water and stone pathways. The grounds are also enclosed, providing immense privacy from the road and surrounding buildings.
Feeling more like a retreat lodge than a hotel, I experience privacy, quiet and relaxation. This is exactly what I needed on my journey after staying for weeks in name brand hotels in major cities. The room I stayed in had valued ceilings and a stylish modern bathroom using concrete and wood. Each evening when I returned to my room, I was welcomed by a beautiful smell of jasmine or some local flower. The service staff were very attentive and the breakfast buffet each morning was complimentary.
Not to leave such a glowing review without a gripe, the only thing I would change is its location to Cusco. Its about 90min. by taxi. That being said, its the perfect stop if you are going to visit Machu Picchu as the Peru Rail train station is only 20min. away, and
