Cusco and its surrounding region, including Machu Picchu and the Incas’ Sacred Valley, is the best attraction that Peru (or possibly all of South America) has to offer. As the former capital of the Inca Empire, the city is rich in culture and history. There are numerous important archaeological sites, abundant natural beauty and a thriving traditional culture.

The Incas considered the city to be the center of the universe (Cusco means “navel” in Quechua), and you’ll find that its supreme importance to Andean culture continues to this day.

Our hostel is located just outside of the central plaza, giving it quite possibly the best view in the entire city. Our parties are known as some of the wildest in town, with good music and abundant drinks, made strong and cheap. Once it’s time to go to bed, we’ve also invested in insulation and high-quality bedding, ensuring that you’ll get a great night sleep before your early-morning treks or excursions. Wild Rover is the perfect base to explore Cusco’s amazing sights, and have the time of your life while you’re here!
