Kusicancha and Direccion Desconcentrada de Cultura Cusco are local landmarks, and travellers looking to shop may want to visit Market El Fumador and Wanchaq Market.

Why they chose this property
Ruinas' location is the best if you want to discover Cusco while staying away from all the hustle and bustle of a busy touristic town.
What makes this property unique
When thinking of our guests, we have 3 priorities in mind:
- Comfort: from our experience as travellers, we tried to make sure Ruinas had everything our guests need to feel comfortable and at home: basic kitchen supplies, clear information pack, Cusco local tips, extra comfortable beds, a portable heater and a warm shower!
- Sustainability: we provide any kind of soap and detergent in re-chargeable dispensers in order to use the least plastic possibile. In addition to that, we have installed a water purifier that makes tap water drinkable! So you don't have to buy so many plastic bottles.
- Hospitality: we want our guests to have the best time while staying at our place! And we don't mind going out of our way make them feel welcome!
