In the week prior to me going to the Sacred Valley, I would often be asked, “Where are you staying next?” When I mentioned Sol y Luna, it was always followed by “ohhs!” and “ahhs!”. So to say my expectations began to soar was an understatement.
Before arriving here, you first need to know the hotel’s unique origin. Marie Hélène Miribel, affectionately known as Petit, and her husband Franz dreamt of helping to improve the lives of some of the poorest young people in the region. In 1999, they started an education project for local children, but realised they needed to support these efforts in a sustainable way. Subsequently, the Sol y Luna was born.
