Kuyuchipunku s/n; s/d/tr incl breakfast S75/105/

Run by the wonderful Bejar-Mejía family, this recommended hotel may be open
to bargaining. Lodgings are in an Inca building with 2m-thick walls and a modern section
with less personality. A breakfast including eggs and fresh juice is served in Ollanta's
most photographed outdoor dining room. Recommended.

Although all of the tourist and local
buses pass by outside, this family-run place still manages to achieve tranquility. It has a
flowery courtyard, a grassy lawn and a rooftop terrace made for star-gazing. Camping is
allowed for S10 per person.

El Albergue Restaurante $$
( 20-4014; Estación de Tren; mains S19-45; 5am-9pm)
Inside El Al-
bergue, this whistle stop cafe serves elegant dinners of well-priced, classic Peruvian fare.
Foremost, it's inviting, with an open kitchen bordered by heaping fruit bowls and candles
adorning each linen-topped table. For starters, try the
causas
or organic greens from the
garden. Lamb medallions with
chimichurri
(herb sauce) are a standout, as well as the
molle pepper steak - the spice comes from the tree outside. Those less hungry can order
homemade pasta in half-portions. For train passengers, it may be worth stopping by the
patio option Café Mayu for an espresso or homemade
aguantamayo
cheesecake.
