One of the more modern properties in the Agua Calientes area, the upper-middle-range Tierra Viva Machu Picchu goes for clean, contemporary decor combined with colorful Andean accents to highlight its sense of place. While it’s further from the village than other hotels, buses to Machu Picchu are just a five-minute walk away, making this a convenient home base for tourists headed to the site. Many of the 43 simple and spacious rooms have terraces with views of the Urubamba River, though soundproofed windows aren’t the best at blocking out rushing water noise. Features are limited to a restaurant, free breakfast, a three-computer business center, and free, spotty Wi-Fi. The stylish SUMAQ Machu Picchu Hotel has a spa and free meals, but at considerably higher rates.

With 83 cabin-like rooms and suites, rustic furniture with Andean accents, and vegetation all around, the upscale Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel has fairy tale-like charm and eco-friendly sensibilities. Spacious rooms offer fantastic views and thoughtful extras like hot water bottles and mosquito repellent, although Wi-Fi can be spotty, there’s no air-conditioning, and only Suites have balconies and TVs. Varied amenities, from the fantastic spa and sauna to the on-site tours, cooking classes, and explorer kits for kids ensure that there’s always something to do, while the property is just a five-minute walk to transportation options for Machu Picchu. Dining options are solid, with breakfast and dinner included and free afternoon tea. All the perks come with hefty prices, though. The simpler La Cabana Machupicchu has much lower rates.
