Kuychi Rumi in the Sacred Valley
Claudia Goitia de Rey is your gracious host at this outstanding
property in Urubamba. Kuychi Rumi is almost like a small neighborhood,
consisting of 6 guest houses and the main house where Claudia lives.
The property is landscaped with the colourful Urubamba mountain range
in the background (hence the name, which means Rainbow Stone). Roam
through the ‘neighborhood’ and you are sure to come across her two dogs
(gigantic but friendly) or a couple of goats.
Throughout the property you will find all kinds of interesting artwork and statues from Victor Delfin, a well-known artist from Lima, as well as beautiful gardens that attract hummingbirds during the day. Statues are interspersed amongst the crops that grow in various patches, including corn, artichoke, and lettuce. The ‘Octagonal’ building at the front of the property is used for spiritual gatherings. Further along you will find an outdoor facility for Parilla and Pachamanca, served to large groups upon request.
Each guest house is structurally the same, designed by Claudia’s husband. The difference lies in the interior design touches. Each house has two bedrooms – a master bedroom with ensuite bath on the second level and a second bedroom with shared bathroom on the first level. Bedrooms have very plain décor with big comforters to keep you warm at night. A small balcony extends from the master bedroom where you can take in the views from above.
One of the nicest features of the houses is the sunken living room that
is adjacent to the dining room. Comfortably cushioned couches / benches
wrap around the room and face the fireplace. Be sure to check out the
fireplace in House #2 – it takes on a life of its own when it is lit!
The coffee table in the centre rounds out this room and provides a warm
and cozy atmosphere to curl up with a book or play games.
