Be Awed by the Largest Spa in South America, Unno Spa
Unno Spa – Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness
The biggest determining factor of a good spa is location, and the Unno Spa on the grounds of Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness fulfills this criteria with flying colors.
Set amid the lush gardens and tranquil lagoons, Unno Spa focuses on a holistic fusion of relaxation methods from the ancient therapies of the Incas. Instead of working to simply relaxing the body and mind, Unno Spa elevates to a higher level that aims to renew the spirit.
Sitting at over 27,000 square feet, the Unno Spa is a comprehensive health center that offers traditional European, Ayurveda, and signature Andean treatments. Most notable is Unno Spa’s Andean treatments. This selection of treatments uses essential oils of native plants such as cocoa, mint, guavaberry, gooseberry, corn, and quinoa as key ingredients.
Taking advantage of the peaceful nature surrounding the facility, the Inca Cleansing Ritual treatment is done in the courtyard, inside a stone igloo-shaped Inca Sauna, stone fire pit, and grass patch. Led by a Shaman from the local indigenous community, the Shaman begins the ceremony by cleansing the spirit with the help of the mountain deities. Next, the sauna will be used for internal cleansing with the soil from the valley’s four most significant mountains. The ritual concludes with a rinse in the outdoor stone shower.
