Set within 400 metres of Cusco main square, Pariwana Hostel Cusco features a number of amenities including a restaurant and a bar. Located around 300 metres from Church of the Company, the hostel is also 300 metres away from Central Market. The property features a shared lounge. Pariwana is a large, well priced hostel in central Cusco that manages to facilitate a friendly, social environment despite it's size. The facilities are solid for the price point, there is a well equipped restaurant/bar, and there is no shortage of activities run by the hostel for non hiking days. The culture is welcoming and fun, facilitated by hard working volunteers and staff who go out of their way to help and to maintain a positive atmosphere. Shout out to Rodrigo and Daniel at the bar for their top notch hospitality and banter, and to Rubi at the front desk for her welcoming presence, making the whole experience smooth.

At the hostel, all rooms include a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at KOSKO Casa Hotel also have free WiFi, while certain rooms also offer a balcony. All guest rooms feature a wardrobe. The owners - Helga and Romulo - are some of the most loving and helpful people I met during my travels. Even when I lost my purse and passport they did everything to help me to get it back, which I did eventually. I really liked the location, quiet and very close to nature and the ancient sites. Romulo even gave me a little tour around the sites. They also gave me a hot-water bottle every night because it was a bit cold. Two super lovely humans. Thanks so much, would definitely coming back!

Freddy’s tour was a lot of fun, lots of great humour whilst being informative about all the products he grows. A fabulous place and beautiful people.
