LOCATION
SACRED VALLEYOF THE INCAS
Sol y Luna sits within Peru’s Sacred Valley of the Incas, a vast, undulating landscape of lush agrarian terraces, pre-Colombian ruins and Spanish colonial churches. Neighbors trace their ancestry back to the great Inca Empire that flourished here in the 13th to 16th centuries.
All forty-three private, individually decorated sanctuaries face the Andes Mountains where the Incas believed their gods dwelled.
An outdoor enthusiast’s playground, the Sacred Valleyalso ranks among the finest places in South America for tandem paragliding, mountain biking and trekking.
Other leisurely, fresh air pursuits around the Valley include kayaking, horseback riding and tours by quadbike.
These are among the reasons that first drew founders Petit Miribel who hails from France and her Swiss partner Franz Schilter to the Sacred Valley.

WHO WE ARE
My name is Marie-Hélène Miribel, but everybody calls me simply Petit. Follo- wing my heart, I left a successful corporate life for the Sacred Valley of the Incas, to live my dream of improving the future for some of the world’s poorest children. In my husband Franz, I met the perfect match. I have tons of ideas for how to edu-cate these children, and Franz possesses the gifts to build and realize these auda-cious dreams.
In 1999, Petit and Franz left behind professional careers in Lima to start an education project in the Valley for local children, many of whom walked for hours each day to get to school or did not go at all. To support these innovative education initiatives given Sacred Valley’s potential for tourism, in 2000 they decided to build a hotel.Everyone who works here sincerely desires to take care of our guests. That motivation, is guided by the Andean concept of Ayni, which means reciprocity in Quechua, the local language. “There is no limit in our generosity in hosting and receiving our guests at Sol y Luna because our motivation originates in giving to our children.” Along with this heartfelt hospitality, Sol y Luna offers its guests unparalleled access to the thrilling adventures, authentic wellness and wholesome gastronomy of the Sacred Valley’s.

Bienvenidos to Chef Nacho’s kitchen, where he leadsup to ten guests on this three-course culinary adventureamong the aromas, flavors, colors and tastes of Peru,accompanied by Pisco Sours.
As you experience the Sacred Valley through your tastebuds, learn about the produce of this fertile basin thathas been the region’s breadbasket since the time of theIncas who built the agrarian terraces, called andenesin the Quechua language. These still grown naturalingredients at your table may include white and redcorn, quinoa and around 4,000 types of potatoes.
For the Incas, this rustic yet highly symbolicdining ritual named for the Quechuawords pacha “earth” and manka “pot”represented a celebration of the cycle of life.Digging an earthen oven and cooking foodunderground pays homage to Pachamama,the Incan fertility goddess.
