Rio Sagrado, A Belmond Hotel, Sacred Valley

WOW! From the moment we stepped off of the train, we felt special. A hotel employee was waiting to take our bags and help us off of the train. He drove us to the check in desk, where we were greeted with warm towels to wash our hands and a wonderful mint tea. We were escorted to our room in a golf cart and were amazed by the beauty of the property as we were riding. We were thrilled when we walked in to the room to see rose petals laid out on the bed in the shape of a heart. There was a wonderful note from the manager congratulating us on our marriage, and chocolates laid out next to the note. Shortly after we got to the room two employees came by to make sure that everything in the room was suitable. They dropped off extra bottles of water and gave us a note to invite us to relax by the river the next day to watch some of the local wildlife. That night we visited the restaurant and had a wonderful meal, then took advantage of the steam room and the beautiful indoor/outdoor hot tubs. The next day we enjoyed the wonderful breakfast, fed the baby llamas, and relaxed at the property. My wife booked a massage, which she thoroughly enjoyed. We spent the rest of the day at the pool, on our gorgeous terrace, and relaxing by the river to watch the ducks! I could go on and on about how much we enjoyed staying at this property and the beautiful flowers and plants that attract various birds and wildlife. We absolutely loved our stay at the Belmond Rio Sagrado!

Hotel is in a great location on the Urabamba river. Baby lamas on site kids and the rest of us can feed. Restaurant on site has outstanding food.

Wow! We thought that you couldn't get better than the Tambo del Inca. The Rio Sagrado is in a spectacular location with only 25 lovely rooms with great views. My wife and I spent a full "down day" and two nights after our trip to Machu Picchu. The property is wonderful, very intimate and quiet, with spectacular views of the river and the mountains. We both got excellent massages and facials at the spa. The restaurant is also very good - the Peruvian chicken is amazing. The real treat is the service - could not be better, more accommodating. Also - ask when the feeding time is for the baby alpacas - photo opp time! Recommend this hotel most highly!

Great hotel. Beautiful location. Room was big with amazing view of the valley and river. Plus two baby alpacas living on the property!

Friendly service, amazing vista with views an amazing river system. Had altitude sickness and had first hand experience of being cared for by staff in a professional manner, yes the altitude sickness abated. The grounds have flora and fauna, baby alpaca an amazing experience.

the setting is great, right on the banks of the Urubamba river. we stayed there right after coming in from Lima, so we used the time to adjust to altitude. the grounds are fantastic, and they have baby alpaca running around which you can play with and feed. the food was excellent and to top it off they served the best pisco sour i had during the entire peru trip. i will definitely go back.

I took my fiance here for his birthday as a treat, we were also celebrating our new engagement and Rio Sagrado really made our stay very special. Beautiful, peaceful place. Friendly helpful staff. Lovely views. We got an upgrade to the junior suit. Chocolates on arrival Rose petals on the bed Horse Riding Romantic atmosphere Great restaurant Great Spa Llamas just hanging out on the lawn.. Need I say more?

Amazingly beautiful, amenity-rich, and superior service. The hotel’s mission/philosophy is to encourage guests to disconnect and they really deliver. Between the natural beauty of the mountains, river, landscaping in the backyard, pool/spa, delicious dining options, and even the baby alpacas that roam the grounds—it feels like you’ve been transported to a different reality, one of tranquility. THIS is how you vacation!
