Situated 36 km from Huayna Picchu, Salkantay Hostel Chaullay offers 3-star accommodation in Santa Teresa and has a garden, a restaurant and a bar. The property is non-smoking and is set 38 km from Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary. Just perfect! The owner, his family and the staff are all so friendly and were helpful with information about the trail for the next day. Dinner was the best food of all the places we stayed on the trail, hands down. Comfy, spacious room, bed and bathroom.

Wolf Totem Steam Punk Guesthouse features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Pisac. Offering a bar, the property is located within 33 km of Wanchaq Train station. The property is non-smoking and is set 25 km from Pukapukara.

Qenko is 29 km from the hostel, while Sacsayhuaman is 31 km away. Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport is 29 km from the property. This is by far one of the most interesting hostels I've ever stayed in. The castle on the hill is magical and the view is unbeatable. The food is very good and there's alcohol and n/a beverages available. It's an amazing space to meet other travelers and socialize in the awesome surroundings of the Pisac mountains. Beds are comfortable and the showers have hot water. You can tell the owner and operator has worked hard to curate this experience.

Conveniently set in the centre of Cusco, Chelitos Backpacker provides free WiFi throughout the property, a garden and free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 2.6 km from Wanchaq Train station, 1.3 km from Santa Catalina Convent and 1.5 km from Santo Domingo Church. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a shared lounge and organising tours for guests. An amazing place...simple, quiet, tranquilo. It's on a quiet side street, a 5 minute walk to San Pedro market and 15 minutes to Plaza De Las Armas. The hosts, Yta and her husband, are fantastic...super friendly, always ready and happy to help with anything they can: tours, travel advice on local sites, doctor visits, etc., whatever you need, above and beyond the call of duty. Yta is one of the kindest, warmest hearted people you will ever meet, a delightful loving person. They don't speak English but that's easily worked around with Google Translate. Has a small kitchen and a large eating room. I loved it here, in Cusco and at Chelitos Backpacker, and stayed at this hostel for 2 weeks. Highly recommended!❤️

This property is located a short distance from attractions such as La Merced Church, Holy Family Church, and Inka Museum. The property is 600 metres from Cathedral of Cusco, and within 400 metres of the city centre. I stayed here after doing the Salkantay and it was absolutely perfect to be able to get some rest and “recharge”. The beds are super comfortable and private, there’s a same-day laundry service, the bathrooms were clean, the kitchen was one of the most fully equipped I’ve come across in South America and the staff were super helpful.
