Hotels Near Puente colonial Pachachaca in Abancay

Belmond Hotel is my personal favorite hotel brand, no one! Although it is relatively niche compared to other five-star hotels, it is definitely an aristocratic stay experience! From check-in to check-out at the front desk, the hotel has really paid attention to every detail. The Belmond Hotel Machu Picchu is located at the door of Machu Picchu, which saves a lot of effort for tourists who visit early in the morning. I booked an all-inclusive room type with three meals. The choice of three meals is very rich, which is quite good for a mountaintop hotel with scarce supplies. The hotel still provides washing service after check-out, which is very intimate. After staying for two nights, Machu Picchu is a great experience! Ctrip's price is much cheaper than booking, very powerful!

The humidity in the room is heavy, just by the river. Although the town is not big, it is a bit far from the center.

Summary: Inkaterra has a wonderful setting and property, situated at the Machu Picchu train station. The food is good and plentiful. Service from the staff can be quite mixed. If your room smells like wood smoke, you probably want to switch, so everything you own doesn't smell like wood smoke. That said, we would stay there again. The convenience of walking out of the train, up the ramp and the Inkaterra porter is there to greet you and take your luggage is wonderful The hotel's beautiful location, situated in the cloud forest at about 6,700' with lush vegetation, has views to the river, train and town below. The individual rooms/ cabins (or casas) are sprinkled across the landscape and up the hill. The service could be very mixed. I had difficulty at check-in with the reception because a new employee, who also had more limited English, didn't know what she was doing. At each stumble, a manager would eventually step in, but it was so frustrating. Reason for only 4 stars: The cabin (#18) for my husband and I had a fireplace and a lovely room BUT it smelled so strongly of smoke that my asthma flared and our clothes, as well as our duffel, stank for days afterwards or, until washed. The property was full that night and after my struggles to check in, we stayed put. Breakfast and dinner were included for us and the food was very good, as was tea time. There were 2 choices each for the starter and for the main course, as well as multiple dessert options. The kitchen was very accomodating to my food allergies. Thank you!! The Welcome cocktail was our first Pisco Sour and worth drinking! Finally, the ecology center and the rangers/ guides there are very knowledgeable and interesting. Machu Picchu is clearly the star of the show but it's located on the eastern slope of the Andes and the ecology, terrain and birds there are very interesting. The hotel has multiple feeding stations that attract colorful birds of many kinds and are so easy to see. While walking the orchid trail, we saw a Cock-of the-Rock, a big deal for serious birders and one of the amazing birds of Peru.

We booked in June for February and had a fully refundable booking and cancelled in December. After 1000 requests via email and WhatsApp it was impossible to get our money back. We had to involve AMEX to get our money back. Never ever!
