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 budget-friendly time to visit Machu Picchu is during January, February, and May, when hotel prices are typically lower. For a great value for money experience, it's advisable to stay for at least 1 to 2 days to fully appreciate the remarkable landmarks and cultural sites. During your visit, you can explore the ancient ruins, take part in hiking excursions, and discover the rich history and archaeology that the area offers, including beautiful mountain views and nearby hot springs along the river. This way, you can make the most of your trip while staying on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover the best hotel deals for your Machu Picchu adventure, start by exploring the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates close to your travel date. It's wise to enable email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to keep updated on flash sales and special last-minute promotions. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you can make informed choices. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you're more likely to see these opportunities and secure your getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay at a hotel in Machu Picchu. If you're after something special, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price leans towards the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, increasing your chances of securing a great deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Machu Picchu's outstanding public transport options, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected.
