LOCATION
The Hotel Monasterio is only a ten-minute drive from the airport and just two blocks from the Plaza de Armas, Cuzco's central square, where the cathedral and most important museums are located.
This unique hotel museum is an architectural treasure built on Inca foundations with a beautiful chapel adorned with extraordinary gold ornaments. It combines the solemnity of a colonial monastery with the luxury, elegance, comfort and excellent quality of a modern five-star hotel
Cuzco (Cusco) is surrounded by the wonders of nature and impressive architectural ruins. Visit the Main Square, where you can purchase colourful crafts and appreciate the curious and charming design of the stone walkways and streets, as well as the beautiful arcades where shops and craft boutiques offer varied souvenirs, designed by local craftsmen.
Other options available to our more adventurous visitors, in addition to visiting Machu Picchu, include a canoe ride on the Urumbamba River or trekking along the Inca Trail. Hot springs in the nearby town of Aguas Calientes give weary tourists the chance of a relaxing bath.
