How much does a budget hotel in Machu Picchu cost?

Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
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.

What free activities should we do in Machu Picchu?
While Machu Picchu itself requires an entrance ticket, there are several free activities in the surrounding area that can enhance your experience and help budget-conscious solo travellers save money.
