Description:

  • Popular with legions of backpackers, this hostel, in a pretty colonial-republican house in the midst of the San Blas artist studios and shops, has a lovely balconied patio, with a very nice garden area that tends to attract sunbathers and with good views of Cusco. Rooms are very comfortable, attractively decorated, and a good value (although some are quite small). Several have colonial-style furnishings and lots of natural light. (Ask to see several rooms, if you can.) It's a very friendly and relaxed place, as is its nearby sister property, Amaru Hostal II, on Chihmpata 642 (tel. 084/223-521).

    Great place to stay in Cusco

  • We stayed in two of the Amaru's hotels in Cusco. Both are clean, well-managed, great places to stay. We acclimated to the altitude for a few days before a trek, left our gear here...
