Creator's Key Takeaways

Overall, the uh hotel is honestly spectacular. Um, yes, it's expensive. Um, but the service is honestly next level.

It's better than coffee. So, if you want to start your day off right, feed an alpaca.

The bottom line is, was it worth it? Yeah, I mean 100% 100%. It's been such an amazing day.

It's just incredible to see. I just I really have no words. It It's just incredible.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider staying in the main building if you have mobility issues due to the hotel's steep incline.
✓Feed the alpacas at 8:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. for the best experience.
✓Carry your passport at all times for Machu Picchu entry and train checks.
✓Be prepared for a workout at Machu Picchu due to steps and uneven terrain.

Mobility at hotel — Request a room in the main building if you have mobility issues due to the steep incline.
