The Green House

In Huarán, at the edge of the Sacred Valley, a bit more off the beaten track than most hotels listed here, this laid-back inn is one of the best options in its price range. Sustainability and the connection to nature is a theme that runs throughout the property, from the adobe walls, natural dye paints, and solar water heater to the views of the apus from the soaring, wall-of-glass living area with a fireplace. The friendly American owner and her mother (who live on the grounds) have uniquely decorated each of the airy, rustic rooms and offer an array of healing services. Three-course dinners are available for an additional S/85.
