"This is another incredible Belmond property! I only wish we had stayed there longer. Our train from Machu Picchu was delayed, so we didn’t really get settled until 10:30 pm and were exhausted by then and just went to bed. So we only had a couple hours before we had to check out to experience this awesome hotel. From the short time we were there, we were very impressed with the spacious and well-appointed rooms with, the lovely breakfast overlooking the peaceful view of the river, and the kind and attentive staff. We also loved seeing the baby alpacas being fed! This is a hotel we would definitely return to if ever in the Sacred Valley again. It would be great to spend 2-3 nights here and just soak in the relaxing atmosphere."

"Officially our 1st stop on our Peru tour - a quick 1 hour flight from Lima and another 90min drive from Cusco to the Sacred Valley. It was a very interesting drive (shortcuts to avoid main roads). But the destination was so worth the anticipation. At Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado we found our little piece of paradise. It’s peaceful. Tranquil. And the perfect place to acclimate to the new altitude of approx 2700m above sea level. I’d strongly suggest not staying in Cusco and spending all your time doing day trips (and hours in a shuttle) to explore the Sacred Valley. Rather stay here and explore at a leisurely pace - with all the key “must see” spots fairly close"

"We loved our stay at Rio Sagrado. The space is incredibly peaceful, the river/mountain setting is idyllic. All the staff were AMAZING - nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend this hotel. A must on your travels. Oh and being able to feed the resident Alpacas was a super highlight, they just wander which always put a smile on our face. Thank you for sharing your peace of paradise with us."

"It is hard to imagine there is a more beautiful property in the Sacred Valley. If you are going to Machu Pichu, don't have a tight budget, the Rio Segrado+Hriam Bingham train ride is THE best combo you can make during your visit. 22 rooms of paradise. Add the Dany and Sabrina smiles in dining and the front desk "how can I help" Julio and you get a sense of the staff. VERY accommodating. Clean, spacious, over the top in appointment this Belmond property will make me shop the brand during future travels. Impressive. Food is only outdone by the grounds on where you eat. Just beautiful and plenty of space to relax and chill. Just gorgeous. Beat the "high altitude" issue of Cusco by making your first nights to this region in the Sacred Valley and ONLY at the Rio Segrado. Muy Bien!"

"Take the bike tour. Carlos was amazing. Make sure you stay at least three days Try to acclimate to the climate with some preparation but the experience of being there is calming and so connecting to nature."
