Located in the heart of the Sacred Valley; also known as the Urubamba valley; in the town of Urubamba which is centrally located between Cusco, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero, Maras, Moray, Pisac and Machu Picchu; Mach’a Wasi is a convenient and comfortable place for visitors to stay while exploring the natural, historic and cultural wonders of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. At an altitude of 2871 masl. it is easier for visitors to acclimatise for higher altitudes in the Andes. Hence, we suggest you come to the Sacred Valley first and then visit higher places like Chinchero or Cusco at the end of your trip. We offer a safe and privately organised Mini-bus (120 Soles) or Taxi (50 Soles) service to collect you from the Airport and bring you to Mach'a Wasi.

We can accommodate 13 people in 5 rooms featuring comfortable mattresses. 3 of the rooms have their own shower with another shower and a bath available for the remaining rooms. Hot showers are available at any time. 3 rooms have a double bed with 1 of those rooms also containing 2 single beds making it suitable for a small family. The other 2 rooms have 3 and 2 single beds respectively. Reservations can be made online. Discounts available for groups and extended stays. See our web site for Tariffs and photos.

If Adventure Travel, Hiking, Trekking or Mountain Biking is your pleasure, there are abundant mountain trails and less important ruins to discover.

Nearby Attractions   MORAY
Moray, located approximately 20 kms by road and/or trail from Urubamba and approximately 60 kms from Cusco, is a group of concentric terraces, adapted from naturally formed depressions, whose warmest level is at the bottom. The variation in temperature, between the lowest and highest terraces, was found by Prof. John Earls to reach as much as 15 degrees celsius. The varying micro climates, provided by the location and terracing, allowed the Incas to slowly adapt more than 250 varieties of plants, from different climates and altitudes, to the climate and altitudes of the Sacred Valley. This laboratory allowed the cultivation of corn and other crops at high altitudes which contributed greatly to the development of Andean civilisations and the economic development and expansion of the Incan Empire.

Moray is a popular stopping place, en route, for Mountain Bike tours between Chinchero and Urubamba. We can organise half day or full day tours that include Moray.

In early September, local people visit Moray to celebrate the Moray Raymi or the Sun's Party.

MARAS, LAS SALINERAS and PINCHOGOTO
In Maras you can view some of the well maintained colonial architecture and from there you can descend to Urubamba via Las Salineras, the Salt Mines of Maras, that have been used for hundreds of years by the local people and the Incas and are still in use today. From Las Salineras you can descend to Pinchogoto (small community where the inhabitants still use caves as part of their dwellings) on the floor of the Sacred Valley.
