Das Eigentum — Inka's Yllari
Inka's Yllari is a modest 3-star hotel in central Cusco, with dark wood beams, a small courtyard, and a felted llama figure in the lobby that sets a low-key Andean tone. The staff are friendly and helpful, speaking good English, and the USP is the location: a three-minute walk from the Plaza de Armas, on a quiet side street. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want solid, clean accommodation close to the main sights without any frills. Standing in the lobby, you get the sense of a well-run family business that knows its clientele.
Chroniken von Cusco
Cusco was the historic capital of the Inca Empire, founded by the Sapa Inca Pachacuti in the 15th century as a city shaped like a puma. After the Spanish conquest in 1533, colonial architecture was built directly atop Inca stone foundations, creating a distinctive hybrid style visible in the cathedral and the Qorikancha temple. The city survived a devastating earthquake in 1950 and rebuilt, preserving its dual heritage. Today, Cusco is the gateway to Machu Picchu and a living museum of Inca and colonial culture, with Quechua language and traditions woven into daily life.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Cusco-Guide →Die besten Monate
April and May: dry, sunny days and clear skies ideal for sightseeing, with far fewer tourists than in peak season.
Peak / Festival Surge
June and July: Cusco's driest but busiest months, driven by the Inti Raymi festival (24 June) and northern hemisphere summer holidays. Hotel prices double or triple; book four months ahead.
Budget Schulter Saison
September and October: still dry and pleasant, with discounted rates, thinner crowds, and no major festivals.
Wetter & Verpackung
Cusco is at 3,400 metres, so UV is fierce even on cool days and sun protection is mandatory. Pack layers: a thermal base, fleece, windproof jacket, and sun hat, plus sunscreen and lip balm with SPF.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Inka's Yllari, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request the second or third floor at the back of the hotel, away from Diagonal Angamos. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still walkable if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on the first floor overlooking Diagonal Angamos — the street is a main road with heavy traffic, and ground-floor rooms pick up engine rumble and horn noise.
Best views
The best view is from back-facing rooms on the third floor, overlooking the inner courtyard or neighbouring rooftops — no street view but quieter and with natural light. Front rooms simply face a busy road with no mountain vistas.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest, assuming the hotel has a typical 3-storey layout. The top floor may have less foot traffic from above, but check if it's directly under a roof terrace or laundry.
🔊 Noise notes
Diagonal Angamos carries local bus and taxi traffic from early morning (around 6am) until late evening. Corner rooms amplify street noise due to openings on two sides.
Insider tips
Request a room on the courtyard side when booking — mention you're a light sleeper. The hotel's entrance is set back slightly, so look for the small sign at 1952 Diagonal Angamos; it's easy to miss.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Peruvian Sol, PEN
Use ATMs for the best rates, but avoid GlobalNet or ScotiaBank machines downtown that charge high fees; never change at the airport or tourist bureaux — rates are terrible.
Visa/Mastercard accepted in most hotels, restaurants, and shops, but cash is essential for markets, street food, and taxis. Contactless is rare outside big supermarkets.
No obligation, but 10% in restaurants if service is good; taxi drivers don't expect a tip; hotel porters get 2–5 soles per bag.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →Small local cafes sell espresso or filter coffee for 3–5 soles.
Menú del día (soup, main, drink) at local comedores: 10–15 soles.
Set dinner with a main dish and drink: 15–20 soles at neighbourhood eateries.
San Pedro Market area and Plaza de Armas side streets have anticuchos (4–6 soles), empanadas (3–5 soles), and fruit juices (3–5 soles).
Mega and Plaza Vea supermarkets are common; smaller bodegas dot the area for basics.
Mercado San Pedro and other local markets sell budget clothing; avoid tourist stalls near the plaza.
Combis (shared minibuses) cost 1 sol per ride; from the airport, take a local bus (route 'A' costs 1 sol) or walk 10 minutes to catch a combi into town.
Eat lunch at menú del día places instead of dinner menus; avoid bottled water — refill your bottle at your accommodation (tap water is unsafe, but most hostels/hotels have filtered dispensers); walk within the historic centre — it's compact and safe.

💡 Boards outside the terminal on Av. La Cultura. Flag one down. They're cramped with luggage, fine with a small backpack. Drop at 'Plaza' – then walk up Calle Suecia.
Av. Grau (colectivo stop) → Ollantaytambo (for train to Machu Picchu)
💡 Faster than bus. Hail one heading west on Av. Grau (cars with 'Ollantaytambo' on windshield). They leave when full (4-5 passengers). Much cheaper than PeruRail's shuttle.
Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) → Hostal La Union (Cusco city centre)
💡 Don't take touts at arrivals. Walk past the taxi sellers to the official 'Taxi Seguro' booth just outside – same price, no haggling.

💡 Cheapest way to the Sacred Valley. Look for 'El Chaski' or 'Túpac Amaru' signs. Sit on the left for views of Patacancha Valley. Cash only – exact change.
