Lodges in Cusco

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Spirit of the River Lodge! Nestled by the river, the lodge boasts incredible room designs and breathtaking window views that make you feel one with nature. A huge thank you to Rodi and Claudia for making our experience so unforgettable. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home. Rodi’s tour of the Inca sites was nothing short of extraordinary—his passion and knowledge brought the history and spirit of the area to life. If you can, ask him to be your guide; you’ll gain so much insight and connection to the Sacred Valley! Claudia’s cooking was equally remarkable—each meal was a masterpiece filled with love and flavor. And, of course, we can’t forget Tupac, their adorable and friendly llama. Hugging him was such a unique and heartwarming experience! The lodge is a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and cultural immersion. To top it off, Rodi is beginning to organize Inca Trail tours with a big focus on ensuring porters are treated with the utmost care and respect. If you’re looking to explore one of the most unique places on Earth while supporting ethical practices, this is the place to start. We couldn’t recommend Spirit of the River Lodge more highly. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Tania welcomed us with a smile and conversation. The balcony has a great view over the Pisac ruins. The bedroom was beautifully furnished and comfortable, which meant for a relaxing stay. It's a shame we could only stay one night! Though it is located a little out of the main centre of Pisac, I would say this is a good thing - there are collectivos and taxis which can take you down into the town and back.

Incredible hotel nestled deep in the heart of Sacred Valley. Everything was top notch, including the explorations and gastronomy. Each meal was perfect and we loved learning about the ingredients from our wait staff. We had a lovely Pachamanca dinner on the final night and got to meet chef Manuel. All the staff were very friendly and we enjoyed our days doing small explorations and resting in our beautiful lodge. This was a perfect place to chill after all the traveling we did in Peru - thank you team Explora... we will be back!

I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful way to arrive in Peru than at this special place. I initially planned to stay four days but ended up staying ten—and I already plan to come back. The rooms are cozy and clean. The shared kitchen is great for cooking, and the showers are warm and spotless. Wallpari Sonqo is located about 5 km outside of Pisac in Maska, surrounded by pure nature and a welcoming community of medicine people. Healing happens here on many levels. Many thanks to Cosma, Tento, the local community, and all the guests who made this stay so memorable.

The best breakfast ever I have had in Cusco area. You can enjoy breakfast at the terrace with a nice mountain view. Night jacuzzi spa at the garden under the stars was something unforgettable. Will be back!!! The owner is very attentive, caring and kind as well. You will get more than what you pay. The property is the same as in the photos.
