How much does a budget hotel in Machu Picchu cost?

Which area of Machu Picchu is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
Travellers seeking cheap hotels for a Machu Picchu adventure should focus their search on Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo), the closest town to the archaeological site, or the city of Cusco itself, which offers a broader range of budget accommodations.

Aguas Calientes provides the ultimate convenience for visiting the ruins, as it's the base for the bus journey up to Machu Picchu. While it's generally more expensive due to its prime location, you can still find hostels and guesthouses that offer good value. Many of these budget options are centrally located, giving solo travellers easy access to the train station, local market, and restaurants. Staying here means an early start to beat the crowds at Machu Picchu is more manageable.

For a wider selection of truly cheap hotels and hostels, Cusco is your best bet. Neighbourhoods like San Blas and the area around Plaza de Armas are particularly popular with budget-conscious solo travellers, offering numerous affordable lodging options within walking distance of historical sites and vibrant nightlife. San Blas, with its narrow, cobbled streets, is especially charming and has a bohemian feel, while the area surrounding the main square buzzes with activity.

Another option is the short, scenic hike to the Mandor Gardens and waterfall; while there's a small entrance fee for the gardens themselves, the walk along the tracks to get there is free and provides beautiful vistas.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Machu Picchu for you.
