Machu Picchu is known for its ruins and mountain views, and entices visitors with popular attractions including Aguas Calientes Hot Springs and Temple of the Condor.
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 churches, museums, and cathedral in the area— your sightseeing tour starts here.
If massages and hot tubs are your thing, you might want to pamper yourself at Aguas Calientes Hot Springs, a popular spa 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?
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, Cusco Craft Center, and Wanchaq Market.

Sonesta Hotel Cusco
10/10 Excellent
"This is the second year in a row that I have stayed at the Sonesta Cusco. I love the location. Stayed in an executive room with coffee and tea service on the same floor. The breakfast buffet has everything you could ever imagine; especially for being gluten-free. I would highly recommend it for anyone coming to the Cusco area."
"The hotel was the perfect location and choice for our Machu Picchu, Peru trip.
The location, facilities were perfect.
The staff, with their constant warm Peruvian smiles were amazing, they went above and beyond for us, tending to our every need.
A lovely extra was when we visited the very cute and adorable baby alpaca called “Pancheta” who came to the hotel each day."
