In reply to Erica. Hey Erica, you could really do either! I stayed at a really nice hotel the night before departure and thus we just kept our stuff there. I had my laptop and several other valuables that my life would more or less be ruined without so I was being incredibly vigilant. But really, I think it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. Best of luck!

Hey Alex! Love your blog. I’m hiking the Inca trail through Llama Path with two friends after the conclusion of our study abroad trips in December, and we’re wondering if you’d recommend storing our stuff with them or at a hotel in Cusco during the hike. We’re staying at a hostel for a few days (probably Kokopelli or Mama Simona because of your recs!) and then probably checking into a hotel for the last night before.

In reply to Fatemah. Cusco is small -- you won't be far from a bar! Enjoy Mama Simona, I absolutely adored it there.

Late in the game, but very much looking forward to trying out Mama Simona either side of our Machu Picchu trek in September, thanks to your sparkling review! I’m guessing there will be some bars nearby, not going to lie I do love a little bit of socialising although my partner is more keen on relaxing 🙂

In reply to Jimmy Dau. I WISH the rooms in Wild Rovers had been soundproofed!

I found the further south you venture in south america, the better and considerate the hostels become. I was quite surprised at how good the gringo trail hostel chains were. despite being known as being party hostels, the party areas were soundproofed and away from most of the hostel rooms.

In reply to Dani.

Luckily you’ll be arriving in the low season — so I’m sure you’ll have pick of the bunch! 🙂

Mama Simona looks great! I hope she has rooms available when we get to Cuzco next month – will make sure to reserve a room! Great round-up, thanks a lot 🙂
