Pirwa Backpackers Hostel Cusco
Pirwa Backpackers Hostel Cusco Colonial is centrally located at Plaza San Francisco #360 just a couple blocks from the Plaza de Armas, Cusco's city center. The home itself has a fascinating history dating back to the colonial era: This 16th monument was once the home of Francisco Pizarro's niece, the mestizo daughter of his brother and one of the women of Huayna Capac, who offered her in exchange for not sacking the city. Now it's a welcoming community for travelers; here you'll be within walking distance to all the major attractions, markets, cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs!
Our Cusco youth hostel has a variety of lounging areas to facilitate socializing and relaxation. These include two open-air courtyards with ample seating, hammocks, and a barbecue grill that you're welcome to use on those sunny Cusco afternoons. In the TV lounge you'll be able to challenge your new friends to a pool, ping-pong, or dart match- maybe you can even convince the winner to spring for drinks at the in-house bar. Those of you who want to experiment with local cuisine will appreciate the 24hr self-catering kitchen, while on lazy days you can order pizzas, burgers, or sandwiches from the restaurant. Pirwa Colonial has events throughout the week- our competitions, parties, and barbecues will ensure that there's always some fun to be had!
Start your day with a satisfying breakfast in the balcony overlooking the Plaza and the tower San Francisco Church next door. You'll find many sites of interest just a stone's throw from the hostel, but if you'd like a little guidance, you can stop by the travel desk and let our staff answer any of your questions or design tour packages for you.

Aguas Calientes
In Machu Picchu Pueblo, this one street town high in the mountains sprung up by necessity ten years after the discovery of Machu Picchu. It's the last stop on the train from Cusco; from here it's a 30min bus ride or 1:30hr walk to Machu Picchu. Visit the thermal baths, trek the Putucusi trail (from the summit on a clear day you can get a great view of Machu Picchu), see the butterfly house or the Machu Picchu Museum & Botanical Gardens, or walk the ecological center's rainforest paths.
Maras
In the Sacred Valley of the Incas, the people of Maras sustain themselves in the same manner they have for centuries. Along the slope of Qaqawiñay Mountain one finds miles of staggered white terraces with indescribably stunning gradients of tone and texture. This wonder is formed by 3000 shallow pools irrigated by a subterranean stream flowing from the mountain. During the dry season the water trickling through the pools each 3 days is allowed to evaporate repeatedly, amassing the solid salt.
Qorikancha
Was the Inca's most sacred spot in Cusco, dedicated to their supreme deity. Today atop the Inca base you'll find the colonial-era Santo Domingo Convent, and while the band of gold once covering the temple is long-since gone, you'll see some of the finest Inca stonework in walls now surrounding a neo classical courtyard. There's a modern art gallery inside and an underground archeological museum nearby displaying mummies, textiles, and sacred idols excavated from the site.
Pisaq
About 1hr from Cusco, Pisaq is one of the Sacred Valley's most popular and picturesque villages. Built to commemorate Pachacutec's victory over the Cuyos and shield Cusco from the Antis nations, Pisaq's vibrant Sunday market always attracts crowds. Its military, religious, and agricultural archeological complex lies atop a nearby hill and includes the Pisaqa (slender rows of agricultural terraces still in use), Intihuatana (Sun Temple & ceremonial center) , and Q'allaqasa (the fortress).
