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, churches, and museums 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 Calle Marquez, Santiago Plaza, and Wanchaq Market.

Sonesta Hotel Cusco
10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed every aspect of our stay here. It made a great home base for exploring Machu Picchu. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast had an amazing variety of traditional and continental options. Would definitely stay here again. "
"The staff were excellent at helping me settle in. Being an english speaking Canadian not knowing much Spanish this was helpful!
Room service was always fast and delicious! I recommend the grilled alpaca (sort of like goat). I would just say potentially consider adding a larger selection to the menu however this is a personal preferance as there are many places to eat in Cusco.
Location is super convinient as it is literally across the street from Inca Rail office to book tours to various destinations. Great all around stay"
"Beautiful hotel. Excellent service. They arranged for our transportation. We arrived in the middle of the night and the staff was attentive, helpful and responsive to us as of it were the middle of the day. They even offered and provided bag meals for our early departure to Machu Picchu. I would stay here again and I would highly recommend this hotel to others. "
