Very friendly staff, great food/drink menu, and amazing beds/pillows!
Casa Cartagena Boutique Hotel
Cusco
This hotel is an old colonial house. From the second you walk in you can feel/see history. The location is perfect you are streets away from the main city square of Cusco- mins from shops, restaurants, and bars. The staff at this hotel are very attentive - bringing in fresh tea and treats along with or bags when checked in. I would love to stay here again!
Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba
Urubamba
This hotel makes you feel like you are a queen tucked away by the beautiful landscape. The view is breathtaking. In addition, the staff went out of their way to set up meals we ordered for room service, called 1.5 later to clean it up, and offered breakfast packs for us to take for our 6am journey to Machu Picchu without an extra charge. Amazing staff and management!

Machu Picchu Excursion: from Sacred Valley - Machu Picchu - Cusco
Peru
Miguel was an amazing tour guide and we feel lucky to have been paired with him. He was friendly kind, and warm. It was great having him to walk us through Macchu Pichu because he was a fountain of knowledge about the site itself and Peruvian history. We admired how connected he was to his culture. I couldn’t say enough good things about him, his knowledge, and his hospitality. 1000% would recommend him!
