Hostal Valle Inca

A must-stay for avid hikers

If you like to get off the beaten path and go on long, tourist-free walks in the vast mountain-scape surrounding the gorgeous town of Ollantaytambo, this is the place for you. The friendly proprietor talked my ear off (possibly 2 hours) on the culture, history, and, mainly, hiking opportunities surrounding the town. My significant other and I went on a 4-5 hour walk in the mountains and encountered NO other tourists. It was awesome and incredibly scenic! As others said, there are great views from the hotel, and the hotel abuts the market (the best place to eat for shoestringers like us). Highly recommended, especially for outdoorsy folks.

The water is not super hot, and the internet is not very strong, but that's par for the course in Peru (at least in hotels that cost <$20US/night, like this one).
