Set within 400 metres of Cusco main square, Pariwana Hostel Cusco features a number of amenities including a restaurant and a bar. Located around 300 metres from Church of the Company, the hostel is also 300 metres away from Central Market. The property features a shared lounge. Clean, well located, comfortable beds, super friendly staff, and plenty of fun activities. I loved the cooking class with Jesus and Fred.

At the hostel, all rooms include a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at KOSKO Casa Hotel also have free WiFi, while certain rooms also offer a balcony. All guest rooms feature a wardrobe. I had one of the most welcoming stays at this hotel, nestled in a beautiful area. It’s the perfect location for those looking to connect with nature and explore unique parts of Cusco that aren't widely known. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, featuring a lovely terrace with stunning views. The hospitality of Romulo and Gelga is truly exceptional. Romulo picked us up and ensured we were comfortable after a challenging bus ride. They were always available to answer our questions and provide directions. The following day, we enjoyed a fantastic horseback ride through the area, visiting the Templo de la Luna, the Wind Temple, Paqcha K'usillo, and Kusilluchayoc, the Temple of the Monkeys. We were fortunate to have Romulo as our guide; his extensive knowledge and passion for the region enriched our experience. Hearing the history from his perspective was a true honor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad that we could only book a few nights. I highly recommend this place—it's just a 20-minute drive from the center of Cusco, with taxis readily available. Romulo is always there to assist if needed.
