Hotel Pakaritampu enjoys a tranquil setting in beautifully manicured gardens. The property is divided into several different blocks, each painted in a warm terracotta and linked by a series of flower-lined pathways.
Inside, the hotel has a warm, rustic ambiance that adds to its overall character. Accommodation is fairly simple but offers all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay in the incredible Sacred Valley.
OUR OPINION:
Although the rooms are relatively simple, we think the Pakaritampu provides the ideal base for a short stay in the Sacred Valley. Ollantaytambo station is just a five-minute walk away, ideal if you are taking an early train to Machu Picchu.
