The Mapi

Contemporary and functional are the concepts that define this hotel located in the picturesque Machu Picchu Pueblo. The Mapi by Inkaterra is fun, modern, and friendly. It welcomes a wide variety of visitors who expect to enjoy a peaceful visit. The high ceilings, panoramic windows, and the design of an open café allow natural light to enter through a fence of eucalyptus logs, creating a sense of order and well-being.

A comfortable environment to rest after an enriching visit to the most emblematic destination of Peru: the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu.

Summary

The belly button of the world. Cusco. The center of power. Exciting and legendary. Surprising and majestic. Everything that Cusco offers is here. An intense journey into the past and present of a culture that has much to offer and that will undoubtedly leave us breathless.
