La proprietà — Hampay Tika

Hampay Tika sits on a quiet lane in Urubamba, a three-star with an earthy, homey feel. The lobby mixes local textiles with simple wooden furniture and a small courtyard garden. It appeals to slow travellers who want solid value and a decent base for exploring the Sacred Valley, without any fancy pretension. Standing there you catch the scent of eucalyptus from the garden and hear the murmur of guests planning treks.

Cronache di Urubamba

Urubamba was a key Inca settlement before the Spanish arrived, later becoming a colonial agricultural hub under the name 'Villa de San Miguel de Urubamba'. Its layout still follows the original Inca grid near the river, though most buildings today are low-slung adobe and brick from the 20th century. The town serves as the commercial centre of the Sacred Valley, balancing market stalls and tour agencies with a growing weekend crowd from Cusco. Its modern identity is tied to its produce—especially corn, quinoa and fruit—and as a launch point for Machu Picchu travellers.

I migliori mesi

May, June, September. These months offer dry, sunny days and cool nights, with fewer tourists than July or August.

Peak / Festival Surge

June and July. The Inti Raymi festival (24 June) draws crowds to Cusco and the Valley; hotel prices in Urubamba rise accordingly. The clear, dry weather also aligns with the northern summer holidays.

Stagione di spalla

April and October. You get mild weather, some clouds, and lower rates than mid-year. Crowds thin noticeably.

Meteo e imballaggio

Urubamba’s dry season (May–September) brings intense UV and sudden afternoon winds. Pack a sunhat, SPF 50, a fleece for the cold evenings, and a waterproof windbreaker for the occasional squall.

Briefing della città — Urubamba

  • The Urubamba–Cusco road has recurring resurfacing works in 2026, adding 30–60 minutes to travel; check with your transfer company for delays.
  • A new indirect bus service from Urubamba to Ollantaytambo started in early 2026, bypassing the old market detour and shaving 15 minutes off the route.
  • The weekly Sunday market now has better signage and a dedicated artisan section, but the main plaza is being repaved until August 2026, so expect noise and detours there.

Before you check in to Hampay Tika, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Street noise from the nearby road may be a consideration, especially for light sleepers. Additionally, guests may be able to hear some noise from the lift and service entrance, particularly on the first and second floors.

Insider tips

Arrive early to secure a parking spot, as spaces may be limited. Consider requesting a room with a balcony to take in the views of the surrounding landscape.

How to request your preferred room:
