Machu Picchu is known for its ruins and mountain views, and entices visitors with popular attractions including Temple of the Condor and Temple of the Sun.
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?
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 cathedral, museums, and churches in the area— your sightseeing tour starts 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, Wanchaq Market, and Calle Marquez.

Union Hotel Cusco
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel far exceeded our expectations for our stay. We loved how there were events going on to be immersed into Peruvian culture. We loved the attention to detail, Kiki the alpaca, and all the goodies they gave us. I would highly recommend Union at your next stay. Wish we were there longer!"
"This place is truly a four star hotel. Service far exceeded my expectations and everyone was so nice and professional. Room was clean and it was a great stay."
"Amazing service and communication. Location is fantastic. Breakfast is tasty. They will meet you at the train station and take your bags back to the station when you leave. They had a living room we could use with couch and restroom when we arrived hours before check in. I would give more stars if I could."
"The great thing about Saska Hotel was that Carlos was very kind to us! We didn’t have any plans except for going to Machu Picchu. Then Carlos coordinated us to make plans, so we don’t get bored. I had an altitude sickness and without Carlos’s support We could not enjoy our first visit to Cusco. For example, he recommended us going to a tour, restaurants, and museums. Also the good thing was that they prepared for our breakfast and it was decent and the bedroom was very nice, but in the night it was noisy. I recommend to book the other side of the streets so you can sleep well. Saska Hotel had a good service because they had umbrella and an oxygen and coca tea for people who had an altitude sickness. Also in the room they had a refrigerator and a safety box. In the lobby they had filtered water, so we didn’t have to save money. Every day the cleaning person cleans daily and it was very comfortable. In the day we had to checkout at 10:00 and we had to use sometime until the flight departure at night. The good thing is that they kept our luggages for free."
"We had excellent service at JW Marriott in Cusco, and the room and amenities were wonderful. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Peru!"
