Waar overnachten in Peru

Kies een bestemming en wat voor jou het belangrijkst is, en zie welk gebied van de stad bij je past.

Waar slapen in Cusco

Cusco sits at about 3,400 m, so where you sleep also decides how many hills you climb while you adjust to the altitude. The Plaza de Armas and San Blas hold most of the sights and restaurants, and the quieter hotels are a few streets further out. In high season, from June to August, the best rooms fill first, so book early.

Waar slapen in Lima

Lima is a huge city stretched along the coast, so the district you choose matters more than the hotel. Most visitors sleep in Miraflores or Barranco, on the cliffs above the Pacific and a short taxi ride apart. The Historic Centre holds the colonial sights but works better as a day visit. Allow at least an hour between the airport and the coast, and more at rush hour.

Waar slapen in Heilige Vallei

The Sacred Valley is a string of towns between Pisac and Ollantaytambo, at roughly 2,800 to 3,000 m, lower than Cusco. Many travellers sleep here first to adjust to the altitude. Choose by what you want to do: Pisac for the market and the shortest road from Cusco, Urubamba for choice and central position, Ollantaytambo for the early train to Machu Picchu, Yucay for quiet.

Waar slapen in Aguas Calientes

Aguas Calientes, also called Machu Picchu Pueblo, is the only town below the ruins. There is no road from Cusco: you arrive by train or on foot. Sleeping here means a short bus ride up to the site and an early entry, but you can also visit in one long day from Ollantaytambo or Cusco.

Waar slapen in Arequipa

Arequipa is a white-stone colonial city at about 2,300 m, below the Misti volcano. The sights are grouped around the Plaza de Armas and the Santa Catalina monastery, so a central hotel saves taxis. The altitude is gentler than Cusco, which makes it a good first stop before the Colca Canyon.

Waar slapen in Cajamarca

Cajamarca is a highland colonial city at about 2,750 m, with thermal baths at the Baños del Inca and the Cumbemayo aqueduct nearby. A central hotel puts the plaza and the main churches within a short walk.

Waar slapen in Chachapoyas

Chachapoyas is a small colonial town at about 2,300 m, and the base for Kuélap, the Gocta waterfall and the sarcophagi of Karajía. The sights are one to three hours away by road, so most tours leave early in the morning.

Waar slapen in Chiclayo

Chiclayo is the base for the Sipán tombs, the Túcume pyramids and the Lambayeque museum, and is known for the best food of the north. The sights are in other towns, each about an hour or less away by road.

Waar slapen in Chivay

Chivay is the main town of the Colca Valley, at about 3,650 m, and the usual base for the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint. The canyon rim village of Cabanaconde is closer to the viewpoint and to the trails down into the canyon. Nights are cold in both, so choose a room with heating.

Waar slapen in Huaraz

Huaraz, at about 3,050 m, is the base for the Cordillera Blanca: day trips to Laguna 69, Llanganuco and Pastoruri leave early from the town. Plan at least a couple of nights to adjust before the high trips. Sleep in town for convenience, in Monterrey for quiet, or in Caraz for the northern lakes.

Waar slapen in Ica

Ica and the oasis of Huacachina are two different stays a short ride apart. Huacachina is a small lagoon ringed by dunes, built for buggy rides and sandboarding. Ica is the regional city, with more space, restaurants and the pisco wineries nearby. Both are hot in the day.

Iquitos can only be reached by air or by river. Most travellers split the stay between a night or two in the city and a jungle lodge on the Amazon and its tributaries. The city is hot and humid all year round.

Waar slapen in Máncora

Máncora is the main beach town of the north coast, warm and sunny from December to April. The town itself runs along the Panamericana, with surf hostels, bars and restaurants. For a quieter beach and bungalow resorts, go a little south.

Waar slapen in Nazca

Nazca is a small desert town, and most people come for one night to fly over the Nazca Lines. Flights usually run in the morning, when the air is calmer, so a hotel close to the bus station or the airfield saves effort. A pool is welcome after a dusty drive.

Waar slapen in Ollantaytambo

Ollantaytambo is the usual starting point for trains to Machu Picchu and one of the best preserved Inca towns. Sleeping here makes the early train easy and gives you the fortress without the crowds of later in the day.

Waar slapen in Paracas

Paracas is a small bay town roughly four hours by road from Lima, and the departure point for the boats to the Ballestas Islands and for the national reserve. Most travellers sleep one night, which is enough for the boat in the morning and the reserve in the afternoon.

Waar slapen in Pisac

Pisac is the Sacred Valley town closest to Cusco, famous for its market and for the Inca terraces and citadel above it. It works well as a first night after the city, at a lower altitude.

Waar slapen in Puerto Maldonado

Puerto Maldonado is the gateway to the southern Amazon. Most visitors fly in from Cusco or Lima and go straight to a lodge on the Tambopata or Madre de Dios rivers, so a night in town is mainly for connections. It is hot and humid all year.

Waar slapen in Puno

Puno, at about 3,830 m on Lake Titicaca, is where the boats to the Uros and Taquile islands leave from. The centre is compact: the main square, the pedestrian street Calle Lima and the lake port are all close together. Most hotels in this area are within a few streets of each other.

Waar slapen in Trujillo

Trujillo is the base for Chan Chan, the Huacas de Moche and the surf village of Huanchaco. Stay in the colonial centre for the city and its restaurants, or by the sea in Huanchaco for a relaxed beach stay. The two are a short ride apart.
