There is no shortage of reasons to choose a five star hotel when travelling. They offer world-class service, plush accommodations, and up-to-date amenities. However, for those travelling to Machu Picchu, a five star hotel may not be the best option.
Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that sees over one million visitors every year. Because of its popularity, the area is tightly regulated and there are a limited number of available permits. This makes it difficult – and expensive – to stay in the area overnight.
So, what’s the alternative? Stay in Cusco and take the early morning train to Machu Picchu. This will give you plenty of time to explore the site and avoid the crowds. Cusco is a beautiful city with plenty of five star hotels to choose from. And, because of its elevation (3,400 meters above sea level), travelers may find they need a bit more time to adjust than those staying in Machu Picchu.
Bottom line: For those looking for an affordable, comfortable, and hassle-free trip to Machu Picchu, staying in Cusco and taking the morning train is the way to go.
