About

Perched on the highest and most scenic hill in Pisac, Wolf Totem Guesthouse offers sweeping views over ancient Incan ruins and the Sacred Valley. Designed as a true “holiday from the holiday” for intrepid, long-term travelers exploring South America, it combines comfort, practicality, and space to recharge between treks and adventures.
The property is reached only on foot via 150 mountain steps. Guests should be in good physical shape and travel with a backpack; heavy wheeled luggage is strongly discouraged and must be carried by the guest. Once at the top you’ll find gardens, common areas, a Steampunk Café with reliable fiber-optic WiFi (plus a dedicated co-working space), and a yoga deck with panoramic views for self-practice.
We are a 5-minute moto ride or 15-minute walk from town—close enough for convenience, far enough for quiet.

Hosteleier Ivan var veldig hyggelig og viste oss rundt på hostelet ved ankomst. Hostelet ligger litt utenfor sentrum, så vi tok en "mototaxi" for å komme oss dit. Vi leide et privat rom med privat bad. Badet var fullt av døde edderkopper og soverommet var fullt av spindelvev, og det kravlet edderkopper over putene samtidig mens vi satt i sengen.

Genuinely amazing hostel. This place has everything you could want and more - a gym and yoga space looking out over the valley and ruins, swimming pool, double beds in the dorms and a resident alpaca! Peaceful but social. So cool to hear how Ivan constructed his dream into this mountain and to stay at a hostel that’s a genuine passion project where every detail seems curated and thought through. 10/10
