I got injured right before arriving at the hotel. They treated me with such an emphaty and care, I could not imagine to be somewhere else with my issue. They called for me a local healer, who made me be able to step on my foot again. They were always there when I needed anything. I am very grateful to the staff and the owner of the hotel.

Breakfast was crazy good, buffet style. A lot of options what to eat. It is quite modern, I liked the bathrooms in that aspect. It has some beautiful interior, wall painting and stuff, really cool, they have books too. And they can organise trips, pickups, almost whatever you want

The best hotel in Cusco, is hands down, Antigua Casona. It is situated in the best area of Cusco, in the amazing old town centre, near to great spots for enjoying Peruvian cuisine. The hotel itself offers great dining opportunities in its lovely restaurant. Staff was amazing but what really blew our minds was the rooms, that offered luxury and modern notes while keeping the Peruvian style at its best. Great job, its not by luck the most wanted hotel in the area.

We spent a total of 11 nights at the Viajero Kokopelli in Cusco. We had a wonderful time here and would check in again in a heartbeat! The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating! The hostel places great value on cleanliness. Every day the staff came by to clean our room, bring fresh towels and make our bed! This is the highest standard we have ever experienced in a hostel. We are very grateful, this contributed 100% to our feel-good factor! There is free tea in the hostel at all times! The internal bar also has delicious food and great drinks😍 The Viajero Kokopelli is great for meeting other travelers, but also for spending time alone! The pool table and table football were used regularly. Particularly noteworthy is the active leisure program! We took part in the pizza workshop, enjoyed the karaoke night and made our own burgers! In short: we love the Viajero Kokopelli ❤️

The team were excellent to us! They were super helpful when my partner was unwell with altitude sickness and did all they could to make sure he was as comfortable as possible all the time. Really spacious rooms and location is a short distance from the old town square which really suited us. Cannot thank the staff enough - we had a lovely time!

This hotel is so special. You are made to feel like you are home from the minute you walk through the door. The ladies who are running it are so welcoming and friendly. From the cleaner to the breakfast staff to the lady who runs the hotel everyone is lovely and just perfect. The room has Netflix, a warm shower and storage for luggage. The breakfast is amazing and nothing is ever too much hassle here. We felt right at home and we were looked after when we fell sick with altitude sickness. We loved our stay here and the people involved in the hotel. The location is perfect with bars and restaurants close by. Cusco is wonderful, we felt safe throughout our stay and honestly can't recommend this place enough. The price is so fair and out of everywhere we have stayed on our trip this place will always have a place in our heart. Thank you El Ave Azul. We had a wonderful 6 nights! X

WOW!!!! What an amazing experience!!!Carlos (the owner) picked us up in town and drove us to this magical place, the Star Dome. The pick up is included in the price. It is perched high on a mountain where you will see the most beautiful view of the valley with mountains all around you. It is absolutely breath taking!!! I cannot say enough about the feeling of awe and wonder looking out at the town below next to the river. We stayed in the suite with the most amazing huge double jacuzzi. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. And again the view was out of this world. We had a private walk way to get to our room with a private deck that over looked the gorgeous views. It is an absolute feast for your eyes. Each unit is carefully designed for privacy and tranquility. Breakfast was included and very tasty. There is plenty of filtered water, coffee and an assortment of teas (including cocoa and fresh mint) available all day long for free. Dinners were the best that we had in Peru- very fresh and plentiful. The staff were so nice and treated us like family. Carlos made sure to connect with each one of us. On each guests’ arrival, I saw him personally walked each guest to show them the property and did a cocoa leaf ceremony in the look out. We were only booked for one night but stayed for two. We also came back for two more nights at the end of our trip. The luxury and beauty of this place leaves you definitely wanting to come back. If you want to feel connected to nature and have an authentic and magical experience in Peru- the Star Dome is for you. The pictures are beautiful but the experience is 1000 times better! Thank you Carlos and the amazing team at Star Dome!!! We can’t wait to go back ❤️

    The hotel is beautiful. The charm of the old, with the comfort of the modern rooms. The concierge service was great for the tours and restaurants. Our driver during the transfers was great, as was our guide Hugo! We had an amazing time. The restaurant inside the hotel is great, as well as the one at Monastério (which is also a Belmond across the street). The complimentary mini bar is a great addition and we loved the small surprises/ beauty products in our room. You will see a lot of small details like covers on the water balls or small attentions during the turndown service.

    Cusco has a vibrant festive energy.

    Cusco has a vibrant festive energy. What once was the capital of the Incan Empire is well worth a few days to explore. On Sundays they have a parade in the Casa De Armas where civil servants gather and are celebrated with Music from marching bands etc. There are quality shops for souvenirs with Alpaca and Baby Alpaca clothing and accessories being the more luxury of options. There is ancient architecture wherever you look.

    Loved it! definitely worth the visit. We stayed two nights in Aguas Calientes. I wish I had stayed a door or two longer as the town is small but really lively and fun to be in. Also, we took a panoramic train from Cusco to Aguas Calientes and its definitely worth the experience.

    Pisac is a great place to acclimatize if you are coming into the highlands from Lima or Amazon basin. It is charming small town with lots of historical interest. Archeological Pisak is well worth spending some time on. If you are looking to acclimatize to higher altitudes, Pisak is a better starting point that Cusco because the altitude is about 1500 ft lower and it is closer to Sacred Valley attractions.

    Cusco was a phenomenal city to visit.

    Cusco was a phenomenal city to visit. So much culture, great food, good weather, and all of the people are super kind. Things to know: 1) The tourist ticket is great but only lets you in to each place once. So, if you take a tour which gets you a short visit and you want to explore further later on your own, you’ll have to pay the entire 75sol again for each such place 2) Elevation sickness is no joke, go slow on day one and rest/sleep a lot. Pack Advil as it is very helpful 3) DO NOT buy anything on tours. Everything is like 5 times cheaper at the warehouse in the center of Cusco 4) Make use of your hotels/air-bnbs - they were a great help when it came to travelling to different locations

    If you can, see Machu Picchu early in the morn or in the late afternoon for best pics and fewest crowds. Take the bus up to Machu Picchu and then walk the stairs down to Aguas Calientes if you have 2 hours for the trek and strong knees/ankles to manage the stairs. Don't let travel agencies rush you from Cusco/Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu and back to Cusco in one day. Definitely spend the night in Aguas Calientes before or after your visit to Machu Picchu. The town has a lot of character and tremendous beauty. Lots of choices for dining, shopping and spas/massages. We wish we had stayed 2 days!

    Strongly recommend to stay in the city instead of doing your Machu Picchu trip from Cusco directly. It would be much less tiring and the city of Ollantaytambo is very cosy and comfortable. Specially if you are coming from outside Cusco and flying in, my recommendation to fly into Cusco and go straight to Ollantaytambo, stay here and visit Machu Picchu. Following by this, go back to Cusco for your stay and fly back. This was a good way we thought to beat the potential high altitude sickness.

    Urabamba is a wonderful local feeling town with a nice square where you can find very good restaurants. There is a Saturday vendor market around the square and a big fresh market every day only a few blocks from the ,main square. Easy to navigate. I ate at Forty, Big A and Migas. All amazing food.

    The Pisac archeological park is very interesting and takes 2 - 4 hours to see. Take the taxi up to the site and consider walking down back to the townsite through the park to see additional ruins. Several good restaurants and coffee shops in Pisac. Easy to walk anywhere in town. Central plaza is a pleasant. Short drive from Cusco, could do as a day trip.
