The second stop on our Peruvian culinary tour was the Sacred Valley right outside of Cusco in the city of Urubamba.<\/h2>\n

We set up camp at the newly opened Inkaterra (the smartest decision ever) and spent our days exploring their gardens, hanging out all over their glorious property and drinking tea. It was the picture of relaxation and I\u2019d go back in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n

Nestled into the mountains about an hour outside of Cusco, it was perfection. If you\u2019re ever looking for a retreat, this is the place. The staff is beyond outstanding. The rooms are everything you could ever ask for, and the property is one of the most picturesque places you\u2019ll ever encounter. It\u2019s located in the Urubamba Valley right outside of Cusco and you can choose from a variety of adventures including a sunset hike, an early morning bird watching excursion, a farm tour where you get to check out and pick the produce for that nights dinner, and so much more. We posted up on the comfy couches in the lobby area and sipped on some home brewed tea and relaxed the day away after doing some exploring. The menu changes with the seasons, but we had incredible dishes like the quinoa souffl\u00e9, quinoa pancakes, guinea pig + corn cakes, truffled potato soup and the most epic hand-cut pasta with mushrooms (and these aren\u2019t just any mushrooms – they only come to life after lightning strikes in the nearby forests) It was quite easily the best pasta I\u2019ve ever consumed!!<\/p>\n

Check out the pics below and you\u2019ll be seeing me back there soon!! I\u2019ve vowed that the next cookbook I write will be finished while sipping some camomile tea in the lounge of Inkaterra Ururbamba.<\/p>\n
