Learn more about Machu Picchu

Ancient stone steps lead to a lost Incan city where temples and terraces defy gravity against mountain backdrops. Llamas graze nonchalantly as you explore the Temple of the Condor and Temple of the Sun, both masterpieces of precision stonework. The Intipunku (Sun Gate) rewards early risers with the classic postcard view that's worth every step of the climb. After exploring the Historic Sanctuary, soak tired muscles in Aguas Calientes Hot Springs in the nearby village. The Butterfly Farm offers a colourful counterpoint to stone ruins. Arrive early to experience the mystical morning fog lifting to reveal the citadel – a moment that explains why travellers endure altitude sickness and predawn hikes for this singular view.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Machu Picchu

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Machu Picchu is in January, February, and October, when hotels offer lower prices. For those planning a trip on a budget, a stay of at least 1 to 2 days is ideal for exploring the site's key landmarks, historical ruins, and cultural attractions. Visitors can enjoy budget-friendly excursions, hiking trails, and archaeological sites, all of which provide great value for money. It is important to note that prices may drop during these months, offering travellers an affordable opportunity to experience the rich history and culture of Machu Picchu.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover potential last-minute deals to Machu Picchu, visit the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel options as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. Additionally, you could utilise Smart Shopping , a comparison tool available in the app, which allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're informed if rooms become available or prices fluctuate. This way, you could book your ideal last-minute getaway with ease.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a more favourable rate for your stay in a Machu Picchu hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels might provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we could suggest alternative dates that may offer a more attractive rate.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Machu Picchu's excellent public transport links, you might find a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected.
