Sol y Luna
|
|
Sol y Luna has grown from a dream that Franz and Petit had more than 14 years ago: to establish themselves in the Sacred Valley and share their life with others. They wanted to share the abundance of the valley with their visitors and the benefits of this activity with their neighbors. Sol & Luna now has a team of more than 100 employees. They use local products and offer work to the inhabitants of the valley. They know that the only way we can grow is by having respect for and living in harmony with their environment and local culture. They built Wayra because we wanted to provide a space in which you can enjoy the valley by sunlight and by moonshine. At Sol y Luna & Wayra, you can participate in open-air activities, discover Peruvian village art, inspired by the colors and sounds of the mountains, and taste simple, unpretentious Andean food, as well as Peruvian pisco and wine from around the world. Their team, led by Franz and Petit, is made up of neighbors, locals and villagers from rural communities. They are enthusiastic to share their talents, vocations and culture, and their work adds immeasurably to the quality of the Wayra experience.
CASITAS
The Sacred Valley has given us the materials to build: adobe bricks, logs and stones. The constructions they create live in harmony with the flowers that bloom all year round, the lively birds and the endless blue sky, which will inspire you at every new dawn. In Sol & Luna’s gardens, the sun will energize you, as the watchful mountains invite you to explore their bewitching landscapes.
CASITAS DE LUJO
By the light of the moon and the twinkle of the stars, the bungalows welcome you to their warm hearths. There, surrounded by colorful, joyful Peruvian art, you will dream of a new day. This magical cycle repeats itself every day, and Sol & Luna offers all you need to enjoy it. Over nearly 10 years of excellent work, Sol & Luna have been improving their quality of service, developing their work ethic, and welcoming their guests with warmth, soul and understanding. They know their visitors’ needs and are committed to providing them with maximum comfort, exclusivity and quality of experience. All guests in the new luxury suites will also enjoy a personalized service, with a private reception and preferred access to Sol & Luna’s different facilities. These include its exclusive Spa, Killa Wasi restaurant and all the offerings at Wayra: the wine cellar, the Chef’s Table, the stables and all open-air activities.
RESTAURANT & BAR
Killa Wasi (the House of the Moon) and Chicha Wasi (the House of Chicha, the valley’s ancient drink) invite all the guests to join in their ongoing conversation with the Andes. These mountains have not only provided Sol & Luna with building materials, but have also given us their fruit, vegetables and herbs, all grown in organic gardens. We use them in every dish and drink offered in their menu. From harvesting the produce to carefully preparing the dishes, we at Sol & Luna pay attention to even the smallest detail. their cuisine represents an artistic creation by their chefs, Nacho Selis and Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, who offer a different menu for each season. Chicha Wasi is a cozy lounge bar that offers cocktails prepared with exotic and native fruit. These drinks invite friendly conversation and enhance pleasant, lighthearted moments. This bar is also home to one of Peru’s most outstanding Pisco Stheirs.

Wayra also relies on the talent and dedication of its cooks, who work meticulously, showing their love for their profession. The Wayra menu offers a selection of roasted meats, delicate salads, handmade pasta cooked in wood-burning ovens, and a great range of local produce, prepared in the traditional way. their gardens provide us with organic fruit, vegetables and herbs. In their pastry shop, we enhance the exciting tastes of passion fruit, chocolate, and dulce de leche, among other local products.
CHEF’S TABLE
Over the years, when they have shared Peruvian cuisine with their diners, they have always noticed their amazement and desire to know more. For this reason, they give you the opportunity to accompany their chef on an adventure of tastes, smells, colors and textures. You will discover the produce of the Sacred Valley in a hike through the chacras (cultivated fields), accompanied by Nacho or Pedro Miguel. Then, you will have the opportunity to watch a cooking demonstration in which you will see this local produce being used. If you want to experment with these ingredients and local techniques ytheirselves, we recommend their cooking workshop. All these experiences culminate in an exclusive dinner at the Chef’s Table, where you will receive all the chef’s attention and hear his explanations, in a space reserved inside his kitchen.
TERRACE
This is Wayra’s most informal environment; here, they combine their services with their awesome surroundings: the mountains, popular art, mural paintings and an inspirational garden. Within this frame, they present their diners with services like Pachamanca, an ancient tradition, their BBQ, famous for the assortment and presentation of the meats, and the Sacred Valley Lunch or Dinner, which offers the valley’s delicious treats as well as a Peruvian Paso horse demonstration and a performance of the marinera dance. In the evenings, you do not need an excuse for a Pizza Night, a celebrative, unforgettable experience. All these services accompany their various open-air and cultural activities.
LOUNGE
In the Lounge the colors of Peru mix and mingle, as the country’s culture and tradition are represented in works of popular art and in the ranch’s architecture. The pieces of art have been made by Jaime Lievana, Federico Bauer and many anonymous artists and are nurtured by the spirit of the Andes, with their majestic mountains and endless skies, the birthplace of the wind. Spending time in the Wayra Lounge means getting to know the magic of the valley’s nights, discovering pisco and the tastes of the region and enjoying live music and ancient tales.

This presentation is available as the live entertainment component to accompany different meal services – such as barbecues, pizza nights, pachamanca – or as a special stand-alone event.

LOCATION
Sol & Luna is located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, one kilometer outside Urubamba, which is the most important town of the valley, as it lies between the famous market of Pisac and the Ollantaytambo train station. We are without a doubt in the best position possible to enjoy the Andes.
ALTITUDE
The Sacred Valley is at an altitude of 2,870 meters (9,416 feet) above sea level. It has a temperate climate all year round, with an annual average temperature of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit), and this makes it easier to acclimatate.
GETTING THERE
Sol & Luna is connected by paved road to Cusco and to all the archeological sites in the Sacred Valley. From Cusco, there are two ways to get to Sol & Luna: the Cusco-Pisac-Urubamba route, which is 72 km (45 miles) and runs through the entire Sacred Valley, and the Cusco-Chinchero-Urubamba route, which is 56 km (35 miles) and crosses the mountains, offering spectacular views. The two roads converge at the town of Urubamba and continue on to Ollantaytambo. Sol y Luna is at kilometer 74 on the Cusco-Pisac-Urubamba route.
