La propriété — Anden Inca
The Anden Inca is a straightforward three-star hotel on Calle Suecia, a block from the Plaza de Armas. The lobby feels like a functional base camp: tiled floors, a small reception desk, and a constant bustle of guests heading out to explore. Rooms are clean but basic, with heavy blankets for the cold nights and small windows onto the narrow cobbled street. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a central location and don't mind dated decor.
Chroniques de Cusco
Cusco was the historic capital of the Inca Empire, founded around the 12th century, before being conquered by the Spanish in 1533. The Spanish overlay colonial baroque churches and mansions on top of Inca stone foundations, creating the distinctive blend you see today. The 1950 earthquake destroyed much of the colonial city, but many Incan walls survived and were incorporated into the rebuild. Now it's a Unesco World Heritage site and the main gateway for Machu Picchu, with a lively mix of indigenous Quechua culture and international tourism.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Cusco →Meilleurs mois
May, June, and August are ideal: clear skies and dry trails for hiking, with tourist numbers still manageable compared to July. June also features Inti Raymi, the Inca festival of the sun.
Peak / Festival surge
July is the busiest month: school holidays bring crowds from both hemispheres, hotel prices double or triple, and the Inca Trail books out months ahead. Inti Raymi ends in late June, but the tourist surge continues through July.
La saison des épaules
April and November offer good discounts, fewer tourists, and still decent weather (April is the end of the wet season; November is the start). You'll find hotel rates 30-50% lower than peak season.
Météo & Emballage
Cusco's climate quirk is that it can be warm in the sun but freezing after dark, even in July. Pack a thermal base layer, a fleece, and a waterproof jacket; also bring a sun hat and high-SPF sunscreen because UV at 3,400m is brutal.
Briefing de la ville — Cusco
- The city council completed a major renovation of the Plaza de Armas in 2025, adding new pedestrian zones and improved lighting, so the main square is now more walkable but still very busy.
- PeruRail and Inca Rail have both increased train frequencies to Machu Picchu for the July season, but tickets still sell out weeks ahead; book at least a month in advance.
- Altitude sickness remains a real concern: the hotel can arrange coca tea on arrival, but the best advice is to take a full day to acclimatise before any hikes.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Anden Inca, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the rear courtyard. These are far enough from Saphi Street’s pedestrian and vehicle traffic to stay quiet, and the upper floors get better light without being too high for the stairs.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, especially those overlooking Saphi Street. The street carries local buses, taxis, and early-morning market activity, and ground-floor windows offer little sound insulation.
Best views
The front-facing rooms on floor 3 or 4 offer a glimpse over Saphi Street towards the surrounding hills. For a quieter view, courtyard-facing rooms show the hotel’s inner patio and tiled roofs.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. The hotel has no lift, so these upper floors get less footfall from guests and staff, and the street noise drops off noticeably above the second floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Saphi Street is a main thoroughfare for local transport and market deliveries, especially from 6am to 8am. The hotel has no dedicated parking, so guests arriving by taxi will stop directly out front, adding brief bursts of noise throughout the day.
Insider tips
1. Request a quiet courtyard room and confirm it at check-in — the front desk can often move you if available. 2. The hotel is a 10-minute uphill walk from Plaza de Armas; pack light or take a taxi straight to the door, as the cobbled streets are steep.
- 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

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →S’entourer
Airport exit (main road) → Plaza de Armas (2 blocks from Hostal La Union)
💡 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.
