Calientes, which is also known as Machu Picchu Pueblo due to its proximity to the bucket list site. Nina's current favorite hotel in this popular area is Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel. Sadly, Sanctuary Lodge, which is the only hotel right at the entrance of Machu Picchu, seems to have fallen from grace. I have fond memories of our stay at the Belmond Palacio Nazarenas in Cusco. Nina confirmed that Hotel B, where we stayed in Lima, is still quite good and the boutique Atemporal Hotel, also in Lima, is fantastic. In the Sacred Valley, the lovely Sol y Luna in Urubamba is still the best place to stay. I'm particularly fond of this hotel because the owner Petit Miribel is very engaged in the community and uses income from the hotel to fund a boarding school on the property for underprivileged children. I'm looking forward to revisiting Peru and exploring areas that will be new to me. I have a feeling that Peru, like love, will be even lovelier the second time around. detour destinations ABOVE Traditional boat made of uros reeds on Lake Titicaca in Peru RIGHT Traditional monastery in Arequipa, Southern Peru LAKE TITICACA: PHOTO COURTESY OF TITILAKA HOTEL MONASTERY: PHOTO COURTESY OF CIRQA HOTEL << 60 MAY 2024 RANCH & COAST MAGAZINE
