Pirwa Backpakers Hostel Familiar
Pirwa Hostel Backpackers Familiar is located at Carmen Alto Street #283, only 4 blocks up from the Plaza de Armas of Cusco(Cuzco), in the famous Artists's District of San Blas. The unique personality of the San Blas neighborhood is often a highlight for travelers. Its narrow and winding cobblestone streets are bordered by small galleries, workshops, and studios where you can watch artists and craftsmen at work. Its location is at a slightly higher altitude than most of Cusco, so it's the perfect place to get some impressive panoramic views overlooking the city. Some of the finest restaurants in the city are also located here, but if you have another place in mind you can also walk to the Plaza de Armas, Cusco's Main Square in just a couple of minutes. With Pirwa, the city's major attractions, markets, cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs are never far away!
If you're looking for a small cozy hostel where you can socialize with other travelers in a relaxed atmosphere, Pirwa's Backpackers Familiar in San Blas hostel is the perfect place for you! Our low prices include a free continental breakfast and self-serve mate de coca all day long for those of you who have a little trouble adjusting to the city's altitude. Whether you opt for a private room or dormitory-style accommodations, you'll always have access to 24hr hot showers and comfy beds.
At Backpackers Familiar you can relax watching movies in the TV lounge or experiment with Peruvian ingredients in the self-catering kitchen. You can use one of the computers in our lab to chat with your family for free, or those you bringing your own devices can connect to the wifi and upload your travel blog. When you´re ready to explore Cusco you can stop by the travel desk where our friendly staff is waiting to assist you with any questions or requests you may have. With Pirwa, you never have to worry about security in your absence- there's 24hr reception and you'll receive a key to your own personal locker for valuables and documents. If you're looking for cheap budget accommodation that doesn't sacrifice comfort, security, and community, Pirwa Hostel Backpackers familiar is ideal for you!

Moray
The ruins of Moray consist of concentric circular terraces resembling an amphitheater; it's believed to be an agricultural laboratory whose experiments allowed Incan officials to plan for crop output throughout the empire. The positioning of each terrace produces a gradient of up to 20 microclimates simulating different ecological zones, with each terrace representing approximately 1000m of altitude under normal farming conditions. In October hundreds gather here to celebrate Moray Raymi.
Aguas Calientes
In Machu Picchu Pueblo, this one street town high in the mountains sprung up by necessity ten years after the discovery of Machu Picchu. It's the last stop on the train from Cusco; from here it's a 30min bus ride or 1:30hr walk to Machu Picchu. Visit the thermal baths, trek the Putucusi trail (from the summit on a clear day you can get a great view of Machu Picchu), see the butterfly house or the Machu Picchu Museum & Botanical Gardens, or walk the ecological center's rainforest paths.
Cusco's Cathedral
This baroque cathedral built atop the base of Inca Wiracocha's palace with stones pillaged from Sacsayhuamán Fortress took a century to complete. Inside there's an elaborately carved choir, solid silver altar, abundant paintings by local masters (including Zapata's Last Supper with Andean guinea pig), Maria Angola (the largest bell in South America), and various chapels displaying gold and silver masterpieces, including the crucifix said to have saved Cusco in the 1650 earthquake.
Barrio de San Blas
The narrow and twisting cobblestone streets of San Blas are a bit steep, but you'll be rewarded with views of one of Cusco's most picturesque neighborhoods and the many art studios, galleries, stores and (on Saturdays) art fairs that give this part of town its unique personality. Known as the Artists's District, San Blas also has several choice restaurants. Here you'll find Cusco's oldest church, built on an Incan Sanctuary consecrated to the Illapa cult(god of lightning).
