Presenting Pirwa Garcilaso, Your Home Away From Home in Cusco!

We’ve been hinting at some substantial changes for Pirwa Hostels this year that will improve the services we offer. The biggest and the best change is debuting this week- the new Pirwa Garcilaso in Cusco!

Cheeful Pirwa Garcilaso is located just 3 minutes from Cusco’s main square by car y 15 minutes walking. The most popular site in Cusco is just a couple minutes’ walk from the hostel: Qorikancha, the Incan Temple of the Sun. Also nearby is the city’s largest artisanal market, which specializes in local products such as alpaca goods. Around the corner from Pirwa Garcilaso, buses leave the Wanchaq station daily for the small towns of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The hostel is also across the street from one of the city’s largest food markets in the city, making it easy for you to sample fresh and unique produce from the surrounding valleys and beyond.

 

Pirwa Garcilaso boasts two lounges and a very large guest kitchen for your use. The kitchen and breakfast room both have great fourth-floor views from where you can admire the surrounding hillsides. There’s also a  fast food stand serving pizzas and burgers and a well-stocked bar cater to guests’ needs in the evenings.

Pirwa Garcilaso offers private double and triple rooms as well as 3- and 4-bed shared dormitories. The shared dormitories are equipped with lockers for your backpacks. Meanwhile, the private rooms have closets or armoires, along with cable television. All of the private rooms are spacious, with two even boasting small balconies.
