Plaza de Armas is worth passing through for a few pics when in Cusco Historic Center. Why not live the cultural experience and visit the churches, museums, and cathedral in the area— your sightseeing tour starts here.
If massages and hot tubs are your thing, you might want to pamper yourself at Aguas Calientes Hot Springs located 0.4 mi (0.6 km) from central Aguas Calientes.
Why not take a stroll along the riverfront and watch the sunset while you're here?
Inca Trail is 11.4 mi (18.4 km) from central Machu Picchu, why not stop by during your stay. Why not take a stroll along the riverfront and watch the sunset while you're here?
If you like strolling among the stalls, you might want to head out to San Pedro Market in Cusco Historic Center and take in the atmosphere. Splash some more cash at Santiago Plaza, Calle Marquez, and Cusco Craft Center.
If you're planning a bit of sightseeing head to Cusco Cathedral— just one of the monuments in Cusco Historic Center. Why not live the cultural experience and visit the museums, cathedral, and churches in the area— your sightseeing tour starts here.

Clean, comfortable, and close to the center. If you want to be away from the hoards of people in the center, this is the place to be. Just a five minute walk away from restaurants and shops, Casa Piedra Blanca is a convenient location for a more tranquil stay.

Right in the center of town, we got up in the morning (they actually packed up aTakeaway breakfast for us) and walked four blocks to the train.
They were actually very helpful the next day when it turned out, our agent had not planned for our return to Cusco so we got back to the hotel and they called a friend who got us a taxi. We were pretty tired. They went above and beyond. I’d recommend this place to anybody going to MP

The hotel is located in a quiet town named Pisac. The stuff related by blood and marriage and their pride of their place shows in how well they treat their guests. Their rooms will fulfill your basic needs with a bed and a bath. The rooms are clean and rustic with a down to earth decor. During our stay they were very accommodating to our late night arrival and upon our departure their breakfast was more than expected. You'll appreciate the lower elevation on your first day in this area.

Clean room, great location 5 mins walk to main square, staff is friendly. We stay there for one night and go to Machu Picchu town the next day, and come back to stay for another 3 nights. They allow us to put our luggage for the day we didn’t stay.
The wall is thin we can hear the room besides us showering and using hair dryer.

Beautiful , magical town! The hotel is a short walking distance from city center. Has a gorgeous roof top area to star gaze and relax. A lovely complimentary breakfast was served every morning. Would definitely stay there again! Showers were nice and hot, beds firm, room temperature fine.

Hot showers, clean rooms, and the staff was friendly. We had absolutely no issues staying here and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Cusco. It's a short walk from the main square and there are many restaurants and shops right around the corner. The area also seemed very safe. The only thing about this place is that it's located on a hill on a one way street, so when coming back from the main square you will be winded after climbing the stairs up the hill. Even with that - I still recommend...

Jorge has been excellent, anticipates and attentive to our needs (demonstrates the extra mile). The property is really close to the city center although it is a little bit of a hike back to the hotel due to the steep terrain.

When my friend and I experienced altitude sickness, Darghen arranged a private taxi tour for us so we could explore at our own pace and return to the hostel whenever we needed. This was far more comfortable than joining a standard group tour, and we were very grateful for his help.

They have basic stuff. Very close to the center, especially if you try to get Machu Picchu in person ticket the day before, the ticket office is the right around the corner.
