Casa Andina

Perhaps you prefer a moderately-priced hotel that will offer you comfort and luxury. Casa Andina offers plenty from which to choose, because there are five locations in Cuzco. You can find a Casa Andina just one block away from Plaza de Armas, on Plaza Regocijo, one of the most beautiful plazas in Cuzco. If the charm and narrow streets of San Blas are what you are looking for, you can find a Casa Andina there too. If you would like a little distance from the main plaza and nightlife, the Casa Andina at Qoricancha, Temple of the Sun, is the perfect option.
