The hotel is located in the
“Incas Sacred Valley”, in
Urubamba city of the Cusco Department. The Sacred Valley is 2,850 (9,350 feet) meters above the sea level which made the climate warmer than in the city of Cusco that is 3,450 (11,320 feet) meters making your stay more comfortable because the altitude will not affect you as in
Cusco.
The Incas called the
"Sacred Valley" because it was a place strictly devoted to agriculture and where they cultivated all kinds of products, getting in the
Sacred Valley the highest agricultural production in all the empire. All this thanks to a series of agricultural techniques applied such as the altitudinal distribution in platforms (
andenes) of the plants, land transport among others. Since the time of the
Incas, in the
Sacred Valley are cultivated native plants such as corn, potatoes, olluco, geese among others.
Urubamba is surrounded by large snowy mountains, forests, rivers, streams, crops of different Andean plants that are harvested since the time of the Incas. The climate is very pleasant and healthy, the rainy season is roughly from December to March and in the rest of months the climate is sunny with a hotter temperature.
Urubamba has the particularity to receive more hours of sunshine than other towns of the
Sacred Valley because in
Urubamba the Valley becomes more width and it aligns with the Sun.
