Social Responsibility

Sol & Luna was conceived as a means to fulfil the goal of its creators, Franz and Petit. The Association of Sol & Luna was thus setup simultaneously to provide education, art and sports for the youth of the Sacred Valley. Today the Association supports a local school and runs numerous projects within and for the local community from annual arts festivals to a Hotel Training School. Palccaraqui School gives children from dis-advantaged backgrounds within the Valley an opportunity to education, otherwise not available to them. Guests can request to visit the school, which is only yards from the Hotel, to learn more about the work being done there.
