Alternative places to stay nearby
Where possible, we like to offer a range of accommodation for each stop of your trip, chosen by our specialists as some of their favourite places to stay. To help you make the right choice, we give each property a rating based on its facilities and service, but we also look for hotels with distinct character or a location that can’t be bettered.
Belmond Palacio Nazarenas
Set in a tranquil plaza close to Cuzco's main square, this former palace and convent is emerging from years of restoration to become one of the city's most exclusive hotels.
Casa Andina Private Collection Cuzco
This lovely old hotel is located in a 16th century colonial house, with a number of attractive courtyards in the old part of Cuzco.
Casa Cartagena
One of the new luxury hotels to open in Cuzco, the Casa Cartagena offers space and comfort creating an atmosphere unique in its style.
Casa San Blas
Situated halfway between the heart of Cuzco's San Blas district and the main square, Casa San Blas is a small, friendly hotel set in an 18th century adobe house.
El Mercado
Just a five minute walk from Cuzco's main square, the El Mercado is proud of its heritage as part of the city's old farmers' market. The modern decor is contrasted with objects from local life that reflect its past.
Hotel Libertador Cuzco
Built on the foundations of the "Aclla Huasi" (home of the chosen virgins of the Incas), and with some of the original Inca walls still remaining, the Hotel Libertador has a fine mix of Inca and Spanish colonial style and architecture.
La Casona
One of our favourite hotels in Peru, La Casona is a beautifully restored colonial house that offers a superb boutique service. Located on the Plaza de Nazarenas, the hotel sits right in the heart of colonial Cuzco.
Novotel
This historical hotel was once the home of an important Spanish merchant, and prior to that was at the heart of the Incan capital.
Tierra Viva Saphi
A perfect base from which to explore Cuzco, the comfortable and great value Tierra Viva Saphi is a short walk away from the bustling heart of the city, the Plaza de Armas.
Experiences while staying here
The following activities are designed to give you the most authentic experiences of the area where you’re staying. We work with local guides, who use their knowledge and often a resident’s eye to show you the main sights and more out-of-the-way attractions. Our specialists can also suggest outdoor pursuits and activities, such as cooking classes, that will introduce you to the traditions of the area’s inhabitants.
Chinchero Market & Ruins
During your day of exploration, you visit the colourful local market in the town of Chinchero. This is one of the most traditional markets in all of South America, and you will be surrounded by locals in their traditional dress all buying and selling their produce.
Cuzco City Tour
A half-day tour of the city and nearby Inca ruins begins at Koricancha, which was the Inca’s sumptuous Temple of Sun before becoming the Spaniard’s Santo Domingo church.
Huchuy Qosqo Trek
The trail takes you through small hamlets and affords stunning views of the Sacred Valley and Pisac below. The trail climbs steadily to a pass at 4200m, beyond which you will descend to a beautiful canyon, where a picnic lunch is served.
Moray, Maras & Ollantaytambo
Visit the Maras salt pans, the experimental agricultural terraces of Moray and the remnants of Ollantaytambo, once an important Inca administrative centre.
Pisac Market and Ruins
In the small colonial village of Pisac, spend the morning exploring the colourful Indian market, with its wide variety of textiles and ceramics.
White water rafting on the Urubamba
Today will take you above Cuzco to the Chuquicahuana section of the Urubamba River to raft on class III-IV rapids. Here the river is much cleaner and more fun than in the lower sections, and no previous experience is necessary.
