Rumi Wasi
Great stay, great staff. The only issue was the uphill walk from the city centre but that’s more of an adjustment situation, not at all the fault of the location. Looking forward to another stay sometime in the future.

Palacio Nazarenas, A Belmond Hotel, Cusco
Incredible! Highly recommend the BELMOND experience for Cusco. It is right in the city centre and has such great history attached to it. I also recommend the spa, we did the three hour mother / daughter experience and loved it.
