Monasterio Cusco

Monasterio

A restored 16th-century monastery, located just two blocks away from Cusco’s central square. When it opened in 1995, the Monasterio was the first hotel in Cusco to occupy a landmark building. It’s still a breathtakingly beautiful place to sleep, eat, drink and just be. No two rooms are alike at Monasterio: each has its own antiques, artworks and historic furnishings, and varies in size and layout. After dark the candlelit courtyards look like a romantic film set.

Peru

When to go?

The best time to visit Peru is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. If you're interested in exploring the Andes or trekking to Machu Picchu, the dry season is the ideal time to visit as the weather is generally clear and mild. However, be aware that this is also peak tourist season, so you'll need to book accommodations and tours in advance. For the Amazon rainforest, the best time to go is between June an October, when the water levels are low and wildlife is more visible. For a beach trip along the coast, the best time to pick is during the summer months from December to March, when the weather is warm and sunny.
