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 cafe.

The best bargain digs are in this big, multistory gues-
thouse. Dated but clean rooms with laminate floors feature reliable hot water and a few
balconies. The train whistling directly outside your window at 7am is an unmistakable
wake-up call. Breakfast isn't included but available (S8 to S10) below at the strangely up-
scale in-house cafe.

Further uphill than most of the hotels, this popular spot features woody, cozy
rooms, in part thanks to down duvets and heaters. In addition to buffet breakfast, there's
complimentary tea and fruit round the clock.
