About Cusco

🦙 Hostels in Cusco for Backpackers & Solo Travellers: Inca Trails, Andean Views & Rooftop Nights

Cusco in 2026? The old Inca capital, high in the Peruvian Andes, is where most Machu Picchu adventures begin. Inca stone walls hold up colonial churches, markets overflow with colourful textiles, and hostel terraces look out over red-tiled rooftops to the mountains. Take a few days to adjust to the altitude, then get ready to trek.

Colonial churches, including the cathedral, usually ask visitors to dress modestly, so you should cover your shoulders and knees. Photography may not be allowed inside.

🏠 Where to Stay in Cusco

Cusco hostels range from lively party spots with bars to calm colonial houses with courtyards. Hostelworld.com lists over 111 Hostels in Cusco, all rated by travellers like you, with more than 49553 reviews. In Cusco hostels you can find:

Shared dorms and private rooms in colonial buildings
Free breakfasts and coca tea to help with the altitude
On-site bars, happy hours and group dinners
Tour desks for treks, Sacred Valley trips and Machu Picchu

Check how far your hostel is from the main square before you book – some streets are very steep.
