Libertador Palacio del Inka Cusco - Page 1

After reading other guests comments it was great to confirm that both the staff and the facilities went beyond our expectations. For people who enjoy reading as much as I do, the hotel patios will offer a sort of paradise ideal for relaxing and enjoying a good book. That alone was enough for me to feel at home, rested and relaxed after each of the day trips around the city.

Not only did the charming bedroom and its magical balcony overlooking the quiet enigmatic streets of Cusco were amazing but it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. Great linens and bed, comfortable room, beautiful grounds. It was all just perfect for a nice stay. The Jacuzzi was just the cherry on top!

Once we took a nap and drank our coca tea in order to adjust to the altitude and the cold, we went out to walk around the imperial city of Cuzco. It all was spectacular: huge rock walls, medieval Inca houses, narrow streets, lovely churches and people everywhere. It wasn’t until we returned to the hotel that I realized how beautiful this was too! I’m so glad we stayed in this historic place instead of a brand new hotel; we were constantly surrounded by hundreds of years of history and we could definitely feel the cuzqueño energy and mystery around us.

We couldn’t believe our eyes while walking around Machu Picchu. It was such our disbelief that it was only after we developed our films that it became real. I remember we looked at the pictures at the hotel balcony under the magic spell of the breathtaking view we had in front of us. What a perfect end for an unforgettable trip!

Cuzco is a friendly city and its people are used to giving the tourist a warm welcome. If you go to Cuzco, let me recommend that you drink coca tea, and bring some altitude sickness medicine and warm clothes, although, once I was in the hotel I didn’t need any of those things. The room’s heating kept my 67 year-old body warm and cozy, allowing me to sleep soundly not without watching my favorite TV show on cable first.
