Das Eigentum — Jhon y Mery
This is a no-frills, family-run guesthouse on Calca’s main plaza. The lobby feels like someone’s living room – mismatched armchairs, a worn wooden desk, and the smell of empanadas from the attached café. Jhon y Mery suits budget travellers who want a clean bed and a central base, not Instagram aesthetics. The USP is its location: you’re two steps from Calca’s market and a short bus ride to the Sacred Valley ruins.
Chroniken von Calca
Calca was an important Inca administrative centre, part of the Sacred Valley network that linked Cusco to Machu Picchu. Spanish colonists refounded it in the 1570s as ‘Villa de Calca’, building the stone church and plaza that remain today. The town grew slowly as a farming hub, growing maize and potatoes on terraced hillsides. Now Calca is known as the gateway to the Lares trek and a quieter alternative to tourist-packed Pisac. Locals speak Quechua in the market, and cholitas in bowler hats still herd llamas through the streets.

Top-Attraktionen in Calca
💡 Try the fresh queso fresco (white cheese) and buy a bag of coca leaves for 2 soles—great for altitude.
💡 Best at 6am before the clouds roll in. Bring water—the steep cobbled street up is a proper lung-test at 3,400m.
💡 Go at dusk when the church facade lights up and food stalls sell anticuchos (grilled hearts) for a few soles.
💡 Take a micro from Calca to the village of Pisac (2 soles), then walk up the path behind the football field. The views down to the valley are better than at Machu Picchu.
💡 Entrance is 3 soles. Go early on weekdays to avoid local foot-washers. The hottest pool is the smallest one furthest from the entrance.
