Hotel Casa Andina Standard Machu Picchu is located in the cosy, little town of Aguas Calientes, not far from the historic sacred precinct Machu Picchu, which is just a 30-minute drive away.

The hotel consists of 53 small yet modern rooms – all with an en suite bathroom, a TV and a safe. Free Wi-Fi is available at the hotel.

As the town is so small, most hotels are close to the station and the Urubamba River, which cuts through the town. The hotel has soundproofed windows, but there may still be some noise from both the river and the train station.

The day starts with a nice breakfast buffet in the hotel’s restaurant, so you can replenish your energy stores, ready for the day’s adventure ahead of you.
