Overview Sol y Luna was born in 1996, when founders Franz and Petit arrived in the Sacred Valley with the aim of settling there and sharing, with visitors and neighbors, what this land has to offer: beauty, culture and history. Sol y Luna boasts over 100 collaborators, who share a common philosophy of respecting the natural environment and living in harmony with the local culture, ecology and economy. Following their beliefs in inclusion and equality, they founded the Sol y Luna Association to support their educational projects and to create jobs for the community.

Surroundings
The Urubamba Valley was blessed by nature, with mountains, glaciers, rivers and the natural cycle that lives within them. Historically it has been venerated as a sacred place, and today remains an inspiring environment, respected at Sol y Luna. Materials from the area were used for the buildings which were designed to be in harmony with their surroundings, understanding the privilege of enjoying the surrounding scenery. Not only do guests enjoy these gifts, but also the 35 species of birds that have made Sol y Luna their habitat. Each bungalow at Sol y Luna is a front-row seat onto this Eden.
