부동산 — Apu Wasi
Apu Wasi has the feel of a well-run Cusco guesthouse that’s made peace with being on a steep hill a few blocks from the Plaza de Armas. The lobby is a cosy, wood-panelled room with an open fireplace, where staff hand you coca tea on arrival and the wifi is more reliable than in pricier places up the road. The look is solidly mid-range Peruvian: ceramic-floor tiles, handwoven blankets on single beds, and a small inner courtyard with potted geraniums where you can sit out the afternoon sun. It suits backpackers upgrading from dorms, or couples who want a clean base within walking distance of everything and don’t need a restaurant or gym.
Cusco 연대기
Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire, laid out in the shape of a puma from the 13th century. After the Spanish conquered it in 1533, they built Baroque churches and mansions directly on top of Inca stone foundations — the famous twelve-angle stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street is a perfect example of what remained. The city’s colonial core, with its steep cobbled streets and ochre-tiled roofs, became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. Today Cusco is Peru's tourism powerhouse, a city where Quechua-speaking market vendors share the plaza with hikers heading for the Inca Trail and international students studying Spanish.

MayJuneAugust
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
July is the peak month, driven by the southern-hemisphere winter school break and Inti Raymi (the Festival of the Sun on June 24, spilling into early July). Hotel prices in Cusco jump 30–50% in July, and Apu Wasi often sells out two months ahead. The city is packed for Inti Raymi's re-enactment at Sacsayhuamán, but the rest of July has high demand from North American and European summer travellers.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
April and September are the sweet spot: still mostly dry and sunny, fewer queues at Machu Picchu, and hotel rates drop 20–30% below July levels. You get bright days and chilly nights without the peak-season scramble.
날씨 & 포장
Cusco is dry and sunny from May to September, but it also sits at 3,399 metres, so overnight temperatures regularly drop to 0–5°C. Pack a warm fleece or down jacket, and a solid pair of waterproof walking shoes for the morning frost that can turn to slush on the cobbles.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Cusco
- The main road to Machu Picchu Pueblo (Hydroelectric route) has been closed for repairs since May 2026 due to a landslide; trains from Ollantaytambo are still running, but expect them to be fuller than usual.
- San Pedro Market finished a renovation in early 2026 — the fruit and juice stalls have moved to a new covered section, and the food court now stays open until 9pm for dinner.
- The city has installed new taxi meters across all licensed cabs, so agree a flat rate or check the meter before getting in — the standard daytime fare from the airport to the centre is about 15–20 soles.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Apu Wasi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor facing the inner courtyard, as this reduces street noise and offers a more private setting away from the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first or second floor facing the street, as Cusco's cobblestone roads carry traffic and pedestrian noise, especially during early morning tours.
Best views
Rooms at the back of the hotel look onto a small courtyard or neighbouring rooftops, offering a calm vista of Cusco's historic skyline rather than busy Avenida El Sol.
Quietest floors
Third floor is the quietest, farthest from street-level activity and the ground-floor common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the address location—likely a main thoroughfare—includes tour buses, taxis, and foot traffic from early morning till late evening.
Insider tips
1) Ask for a room with a window that opens to the courtyard; the hotel's thick stone walls keep rooms cool, but fresh air helps with altitude. 2) Confirm your room number at check-in and request a top-floor interior room if available, as these are quietest and often have better natural light.
- 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 →주위를 둘러보는
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.
