La propriété — Cáceres
A converted colonial mansion a block from the Plaza de Armas, Cáceres feels like a quiet time capsule. The lobby opens onto a courtyard with potted plants and a stone fountain, with heavy wooden beams overhead. The decor is simple and slightly worn—faded textiles, local weavings—but the staff greet you by name within an hour. It’s for budget-conscious travellers who want location and character, not polish; the rooms are basic, but the terrace views of the cathedral dome are free.
Chroniques de Cusco
Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire, founded as Qosqo (‘navel of the world’) around the 12th century. After the Spanish conquest in 1534, they built Baroque churches and mansions directly on Inca stone foundations, creating the city’s signature blend of angled walls and colonial arches. Today, Cusco’s identity fuses Quechua traditions with contemporary Andean art and a thriving tourist economy. It remains the gateway to Machu Picchu, but its own plaza life—street festivals, textile markets, pisco bars—is just as defining.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Cusco →Meilleurs mois
May–June and August–September: dry, clear skies with daytime highs of 18–20°C. Crowds are present but bearable, and flights are easier to book than in July.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are the busiest, driven by the Northern Hemisphere summer and the Inti Raymi festival (June 24). Hotel prices at Cáceres can double, and advance booking is essential four months out.
La saison des épaules
October–November and March–April: still mostly dry, with hotel rates 20–30% lower. You’ll get good weather without the July crush, though February can bring heavy rain.
Météo & Emballage
Cusco’s climate is dry winter (May–September) and rainy summer (October–April), but daytime sun is intense and evenings drop below 5°C year-round. Pack in layers: a thermal base, fleece, waterproof shell, and a sun hat—even a wool beanie for night.
Briefing de la ville — Cusco
- The new Saqsaywaman entrance procedure now requires pre-booked time slots (book at least 24 hours ahead).
- Avenida El Sol remains under partial closure for the construction of a new sewage line until September 2026; expect 15–20 minute detours from the airport.
- The San Pedro market is open again after a month-long strike by stallholders over rental disputes; it’s back to normal trading hours as of late January 2026.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Cáceres, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the inner courtyard. These rooms are quieter and benefit from natural light without street disturbance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor near the reception or stairs – noise from staff and guests coming and going can be intrusive. Also skip any room advertised as 'internal' with no window; these can feel stuffy.
Best views
Ask for a room at the back, overlooking the courtyard. You'll see the hotel's own colonial-style patio – no grand vista, but calm and pleasant.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors – away from the street and ground-floor bustle, and not subject to roof-terrace noise if there is one.
🔊 Noise notes
Cusco's historic centre is busy with tour groups – street noise peaks 7:30–9am and 4–7pm. The hotel's entrance is on a main pedestrian/limited-traffic street, but mototaxis and delivery trucks pass near.
Insider tips
1) If you're sensitive to altitude, request a room on the second floor (not third) – less stairs to climb in the thin air. 2) Ask reception for a quiet table at breakfast; they can seat you away from the buffet queue.
- 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.
Av. Grau (2 blocks from Hostal La Union) → Urubamba (Sacred Valley)
💡 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.
