El MaPi by Inkaterra

Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu), Peru

City Boutique Hotel
Worth Considering

There is only one town at the base of Machu Picchu, and El MaPi sits at the centre of it. Contemporary and quietly stylish in a setting that could easily overwhelm, it is steps from the bus to the ruins and three hours by train from Cusco. Breakfast is organic and generous, the Spa del Bosque offers treatments for guests still adjusting to the pace, and arrival includes a welcome lemongrass lemonade and the option of supplemental oxygen. For those using Machu Picchu as a base rather than a day trip, it delivers exactly what the moment calls for.

What It Is

A contemporary, efficient base in the only town at the foot of Machu Picchu.

What It Is Not

A destination stay. You are here for the ruins.

Worth Considering

If Aguas Calientes is a required overnight for Machu Picchu and a solid, efficient stay is all you need.
