Inti Punku El Tambo Hotel puts you a short distance from Aguas Calientes’ restaurants and bars, as well as train station that brings travelers from Cusco, and the bus that goes to Machu Picchu. Rooms here are simple but spacious, and some come with views of the surrounding mountains.

Travelers often arrive here on a luxury train from Cusco, or at the end of a long trek – either via Salkantay or the Inca Trail. Of course, you’ll be planning to spend part of your tour exploring the ruins. But, keep in mind there are other attractions you might want to check out while you’re here, including the peak of Huayna Picchu, which reveals the stunning expanse of the Machu Picchu ruins below.

You can opt for an in-room breakfast, or head to the restaurant for a breakfast buffet. The hotel restaurant can also provide a packed lunch. When you’re ready to explore, you can find simple cafes as well as higher end options not far from the hotel.

Each room is immaculate, welcoming, and decorated in warm, neutral colors. Housekeeping keeps the spaces spotless. The rooms are close to downtown, but rooms come with sound-proofing, so you’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep.

Rooms are furnished with desks, telephones, and wardrobes. The room TVs come with DVD players and you can quickly connect to the hotel Wi-Fi. Each room’s private bathroom has a hair dryer and basic toiletries. If you have something you need to keep careful track of, use the hotel’s safety deposit box.
