Cusco Hotels

The hotels probably do the best business in the country, mostly because the city is the main stop for trips to Machu. That isn’t all, though. Cusco was once the center of the great Inca civilization, and old Inca walls can still be found in the city, some serving as bases for secondary Spanish structures. There is a great colonial feel to Cusco, and seeing the native people about town gives you the feeling that you are truly not in Kansas anymore. Cusco is also the point from which people usually embark on expeditions into the Sacred Valley, and with cities like Arequipa and Puno relatively close by, you can understand why it is a haven, or mecca of sorts, for visitors to Peru. It is a good idea to make Cusco hotel reservations in advance during the high season, which is generally June-August. Thanks to the internet, you can make Cusco hotel reservations before you even leave your house. If the following recommendations for Cusco Peru hotels are a bit out of your budget, there are plenty of Cusco hostels available.
