Mid-Range
Looking for a private room and private bath? Stay at one of Ollantaytambo's mid-range hotels, priced from $20 to $50 dollars a night. The British-owned Apu Lodge has views of old town, mountains and ruins, and arranges hiking and biking tours to local attractions like Inka ruins and a Quechua weaving community. The colorful, family-run Hotel Munay Tika sits on the river and has a relaxing garden courtyard. Andean Moon is a cozy getaway on a cobblestone street, with beamed ceilings, wood floors and local art. Roof access and jacuzzi are available, the latter for an extra charge.
