About

Set on the highest & most beautiful hill in Pisac, overlooking ancient Incan Ruins, Wolf Totem Guesthouse has been designed as a holiday from the holiday for the long-term travelers. Alongside the breathtaking views, gardens and common areas, Wolf Totem features a Steam Punk Cafe with Fiber Optic wifi to do all your Digital Nomad work (New dedicated Co-Working space). Also, we offer a a yoga deck with stunning views for self practice.

The property is located on the top of a hill only accessible by foot. There are 150 mountain steps to climb required to get to reception. Good physical shape and a backpack are highly recommended. Heavy carry on luggage will be extremely hard to bring up the hill. Guests are expected to carry own luggage.

Wolf Totem Guesthouse is 5 minutes to town by moto, or a 15 minute walk to town. Wolf Totem is close enough to all you needs, and far enough away from the hustle and bustle.

All beds feature comfortable western-style brand new bedding, night stands, bespoke lamps, backpack lockers, USB ports for fast phone charging and privacy curtains. Gas heated showers provide piping hot water and the expansive washroom area with immense mirrors is a great place to glam yourself up for the night.

Amazing stay in Pisac, the attention to detail is incredible. There’s a work room, sauna, lovely kitchen and beautiful rooms and beautiful yoga deck. Ivan is a great host who cooks himself and if you’re lucky enough to be there during a pizza night- do not miss out! Met great people and will definitely be back

Extended my stay here after thinking I would just stay for 2 days, turned out to be about 5! Ivan has built an incredibly beautiful hostel. All the common spaces and dorms are beautifully designed and really blend in to the surrounding nature. I got to experience the sauna, which had eucalyptus and was wonderful. Also, Ivan upgraded me to a private as no one had booked it, incredibly thoughtful and made my stay that much better. Also delicious breakfasts overlooking the pisac ruins!
