Set
amid tropical gardens, these chic Andean-style cottages (many with their own private
pool) are pure indulgence, featuring iPod docks, subtle decor, and showers with glass
walls looking out onto the vegetation. The onsite spa features a bamboo-eucalyptus sauna,
but the best feature are the guided excursions included in your stay. Rates include half-
board and kids under 12 stay free.

Hidden away up a steep
flight of stairs, Rupa Wasi clings to the hillside with wooden stairways and moss-strewn
stone pathways. It's quaint and a little wild, but the price only reflects its proximity to
Machu Picchu. Cabin-style rooms feature down duvets and views. A nice American
breakfast is served in the Tree House café.
